This point is debatable:) At least we inform people that they should
provide valid emails if they want to reset their passwords.

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.
