ADB Shows "unauthorized" device, on a device with a broken screen. How do I authorize the session while "blind"?

I've done a bunch of reading on this topic and I believe this is the closest you can probably get, but I don't know if it's possible to do this in fastboot mode or another mode other than normal.

shell$ cd ~/.android/

shell$ adb push adbkey.pub /data/misc/adb/adb_keys

This will push your key to the device, but obviously won't work while the phone is booted in Normal Mode until you grant it access. I do wonder, however, if it's possible to push this file if you put the device in Recovery Mode or Fastboot/etc? It would be a matter of remembering the key combos and timing to do this blind, but I think it might be possible. Am I wrong?

Any help is appreciated! This is for a Motorola Nexus 6 XT1103.

Device Status: USB Debugging On. Rooted. Bootloader Unlocked. Android OS Version Not Known, Believed to be 11, but possibly 10.
