SimpleLogin current API clients are Chrome/Firefox/Safari extension and mobile (iOS/Android) app.
These clients rely on `API Code` for authentication.

Once the `Api Code` is obtained, either via user entering it (in Browser extension case) or by logging in (in Mobile case),
the client includes the `api code` in `Authentication` header in almost all requests.

For some endpoints, the `hostname` should be passed in query string. `hostname` is the the URL hostname (cf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL), for ex if URL is http://www.example.com/index.html then the hostname is `www.example.com`. This information is important to know where an alias is used in order to suggest user the same alias if they want to create on alias on the same website in the future.

If error, the API returns 4** with body containing the error message, for example:

```json
{
  "error":  "request body cannot be empty"
}
```

The error message could be displayed to user as-is, for example for when user exceeds their alias quota.
Some errors should be fixed during development however: for example error like `request body cannot be empty` is there to catch development error and should never be shown to user.

All following endpoint return `401` status code if the API Key is incorrect.

### Account endpoints

#### POST /api/auth/login

Input:
- email
- password
- device: device name. Used to create the API Key. Should be humanly readable so user can manage later on the "API Key" page.

Output:
- name: user name, could be an empty string
- email: user email
- mfa_enabled: boolean
- mfa_key: only useful when user enables MFA. In this case, user needs to enter their OTP token in order to login.
- api_key: if MFA is not enabled, the `api key` is returned right away.

The `api_key` is used in all subsequent requests. It's empty if MFA is enabled.
If user hasn't enabled MFA, `mfa_key` is empty.

Return 403 if user has enabled FIDO. The client can display a message to suggest user to use the `API Key` instead.

#### POST /api/auth/mfa

Input:
- mfa_token: OTP token that user enters
- mfa_key: MFA key obtained in previous auth request, e.g. /api/auth/login
- device: the device name, used to create an ApiKey associated with this device

Output:
- name: user name, could be an empty string
- api_key: if MFA is not enabled, the `api key` is returned right away.
- email: user email

The `api_key` is used in all subsequent requests. It's empty if MFA is enabled.
If user hasn't enabled MFA, `mfa_key` is empty.

#### POST /api/auth/facebook

Input:
- facebook_token: Facebook access token
- device: device name. Used to create the API Key. Should be humanly readable so user can manage later on the "API Key" page.

Output: Same output as for `/api/auth/login` endpoint

#### POST /api/auth/google

Input:
- google_token: Google access token
