Re: [Zope] Persist password in CookieCrumbler

I wrote something a long time ago which did this. Download

And read some of the source I think what you have to do is override
its setAuthCookie method somehow and there you can set 'expires' to be
a date far in the future.

 What are the implications/problems that might result from doing this?

The obvious issue with a beyond-this-session auth cookie is that it
enables anybody who can run that browser / profile to authenticate as
the user being persisted.  I would consider this an unacceptable risk
for any site where the authentication was intended for anything more
than keep spambots out (i.e., you might as well be using OpenID).

Isn't this about the same risk as the browser saving the id/password
pair for the site? Certainly on a public or multiuser machine this
would not be a good idea and appropriate warnings should be given.


(it seems to me that all browsers do this and most users take advantage of this)
