This point is debatable:) At least we inform people that they should provide valid emails if they want to reset their passwords. > Instead of randomly increasing the cookies lifetime, I think that we > should be renewing the cookies if the session has more than eg. 24 hours. > That way, you would never need to login again if you browsed the wiki at > least once in the last month. That would require some effort, and will add another cookie that stores expiry time. A simple increase in time will be a fine solution until a complex scheme is implemented (do we want it at all? more cookies=more bandwidth). Additionally, there's still no good reason to keep expiry time short anyway. > Personally, I don't find annoying having to log in once a month.

I don't use FF, can you elaborate? -- Best regards, Max Semenik ([[User:MaxSem]]) _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
