What's to stop me from installing custom certs and MITM your login session proxying the info. Or an extension to harvest the data after you login. I'm pretty sure if I have root it's game over one way or another. The surface is massive.


At that point you've done something much more invasive and detectable than exporting a .env file and you've walked away with a very short lived token. There's always "something more an attacker can do", I'll stand by the view that requiring further authentication to perform interactive actions and pushes is worthwhile.
