This backend stores the apptoken in a JSON file per user using the metabackend. By default passwords are generated using the "diceware" algorithm (based on https://xkcd.com/936/). It can be switched to generate "normal" random password. Passwords are hashed using the argon2id algorithm. Note: There is no form of caching for now. I.e. the json file is loaded upon every single authentication request so there is lot of room for improvement here. To limit the amount of write operations the Utime (time of last usage of the password) is however only updated with a granularity of 5 minutes. opencloud-eu/opencloud#207
