Managing multiple keys/bots can be kind of a pain in the ass. If I want to change something, I have to figure out which key I'm not using, which can be tedious when I change up bots a lot. So, I'm proposing a simple solution that will require no change to Demonbuddy, only to the key auth server and the buddyauth page.
First, give us a 'meta' key that we can view on Buddyauth. It would not be a real key at all, just a fake key that would link to any key you have tied to your email. So, if I start Demonbuddy with the meta key, it will see if I have a key available, and just use that one. No need to keep track of which one you used where, since the important thing is that I'm only running as many sessions as I've paid for. Plus, I could log in with a real key if that's the way I prefer to do it. This would save a lot of trouble in my batch scripting for my bots.
Second, a meta key could be a way to protect your security. Rather than just using your real keys, which could be stolen, using a meta key would cover all the real keys. Give us a button to click on Buddyauth that would generate a new random key (rendering the old one invalid). That way, if we think our key is compromised, we can just generate a new one.
Basically, the idea is that we use our account to log in, but this would require no changes on the DB side.
As a bonus, I think this would be convenient enough that it would significantly curb the 'used key' market, since it would still be a pain to manage multiple keys. I know I wouldn't even consider buying a used key if I could just add sessions to my current account and access them all the same way.
