Email/password authentication

Joe Masilotti

I strongly prefer classic email/password authentication over Google. Every time I use Sticker Space I have to sign in again which then requires me signing in to Google.

Also, I just noticed that the session cookie expiry was set to "Session" (i.e. when browser closes). I have changed this to 1 year. You shouldn't be asked to re-log in unless you clear your cache now (or a year passes).

Chris Riccomini: Ah! Excellent. If that works as expected then this is a much smaller issue for me.

Joe Masilotti: Go ahead and give it a shot. You'll have to delete your existing cookie. I verified it on my end, but LMK if it doesn't work.

Chris Riccomini: Awesome, thank you!

Two questions:

Would a passwordless option be OK? (i.e. punch in email, get a one-time use login link)
Would a Github OAuth option suit your needs?

I'm not opposed to traditional user/pass, but I have been trying to avoid it.

Chris Riccomini: GitHub OAuth would be better than Google for me. Passwordless feels a bit worse than GitHub. Both my personal opinions, though!
