a couple folks have posted today about how long cohost leaves you logged in before logging you out and I wanted to mention a couple things:
- there were some operations problems today that resulted in you getting logged out before your cookies expired; I'm sorry for the inconvenience and also want to reassure everyone that there wasn't a security problem or anything, just us goofing up and dropping some login sessions on the floor.
- it's intentional that the site logs you out every week or so1, and I personally think having a months-long cookie lifespan is just straight-up Bad philosophically, so we're not likely to increase the lifespan to more than, say, 2 or 3 weeks, even if we do decide to increase it based on feedback.
-
fun fact: originally your cookie expired every time you closed the browser. it was fucking annoying.
