Enable manual updating of key

I had a same request so here is a patch. Added a new button next to "Generate new key" called "Save key" and changed markup field to input field and added a handler for "Save key" action.

I don't recommend this approach in the core module.

However I too need the ability to insert an existing key.

My use case is for testing and development of a number of sites at once. I want to hard code a key into the development settings so that I don't have to generate a new one and set it in the client everytime I install or sync the site in.

To add a key, just set the api_key field on users. Custom code or an add on module for managing keys could be created.

See UserKeyAuthForm::submitForm():

 // Generate a new key.
    User::load($form['#uid'])
      ->set('api_key', $this->keyAuth->generateKey())
      ->save();

I created a new branch and merge request to add a drush command: 'key:set'

Patch attached.

MR here: https://git.drupalcode.org/project/key_auth/-/merge_requests/13

Here's what it looks like:

www-data@7840126ff815:~$ drush key:set admin

In KeyAuthCommands.php line 64:
                                                                 
  User already has API key. Use --force option to overwrite it.  
                                                                 

www-data@7840126ff815:~$ drush key:set admin --force

 ! [NOTE] User's existing API key was removed.                                             

 [success] API key for user admin was set to 9a99e567bbd5983beb318274baf96273.
www-data@7840126ff815:~$ drush key:set admin abc123 --force

 ! [NOTE] User's existing API key was removed.                                             

 [success] API key for user admin was set to abc123.

Catch missing user and improve messaging.

I don't recommend this approach in the core module.

Hi! Could you explain this a bit more? Because I can't really see much the difference if you use drush or admin UI for this.

Still needs a permission added for whether a user role can edit the key manually.

Never mind. There's a separate issue for that.

@jonpugh, @solideogloria would you mind joining the project to maintain, as I get very less time to look into it.

I could possibly co-maintain, but I don't have any real experience maintaining a module. I've only done patches and merge requests. Though the Media: YouTube module is listed on my profile, I didn't do anything for that module and removed myself from being maintainer.

I also don't have a dev environment set up for contributing, so when I want to contribute patches or code to a module, I don't have any phpcs integration in my IDE; I just open the folder in a workspace and modify the files. I have yet to figure that out.
