Hi Steve,

I tried reproducing your scenario and noticed that upon restart, the
SESSIONS.ser file was there, and reloading an authenticated page from
my browser worked without entering a new password as long as that
SESSIONS.ser file existed. But if I opened a new fresh browser with
cache cleared, it would correctly prompt me again for the password,
and only accepted the new one. This was without me touching the
SESSIONS.ser file.

So it appears that if my browser already has a session established
under which it has authenticated once, the old password still works
through that session.
