(In reply to Krinkle from comment #17)
> This [proposal] covers the use case proposed in this bug:
> 
>  New users will not have to log in again after 30 days
>  (especially if they forgot their password and didn't
>  provide an e-mail address)
> 
> Whilst having two additional advantages:
> 
> * We don't accept dormant sessions over a year old to be used to
> authenticate the user.
> * We do distinguish between used and unused sessions.
> * We provide even more convenience to users ("never" have to log in again,
> not even once a year).
>

And, important for the legal/privacy angle:

* We keep our cooky expiration dates under 31 days. We will not set cookies for
a year.
