I'm inclined to add a default token mechanism to Datasette based on tokens that are signed with the `DATASETTE_SECRET`. Maybe the root user can access `/-/create-token` which provides a UI for generating a time-limited signed token? Could also have a `datasette token` command for creating such tokens at the command-line.

Plugins can then define alternative ways of creating tokens, such as the existing https://datasette.io/plugins/datasette-auth-tokens plugin.
