Sorry for the delayed response, this mailing list has been pretty slow compared to #catalyst on irc. That said if you are using https://metacpan.org/pod/Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication for login I'd recommend storing information in the session. I'm not 100% sure the session will not be rotated once you authenticate the user but that should be easy to test; but what you are asking is typical information that would be stored in the session, taking care not to store too much info in there size-wise.
