Tim did this work already. Needs testing, obviously, but the patches are here: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/80166/ https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/80175/ >> * Use of a preference vs login form checkbox vs hidden option vs >> sensible default > > > Are we considering putting a checkbox back on login?
