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. It's
the CentralAuth third party cookies (+ firefox behavior) what makes them
expire.
I don't use FF, can you elaborate?
