With the significant difference that (IIUC) I must first have an account
at Launchpad.

Thank you for the offer.

I don't understand from this description whether this requires having
authentication credentials at Launchpad. Would access to those
credentials allow a person to assume the identity of that account at
Launchpad?

If it does, then it then falls to me to either manage the credentials to
my Launchpad account securely, or fail to do so. That unattractive set
of options is precisely what I don't want.
