Our latest blog post about how our Unlock Session feature works, similar in experience to a password manager:

What I was encountering before this feature was that the remember me cookie would still be valid but the person’s session_key would no longer exist, causing a poor experience when someone is routed to an authenticated page but is unable to unlock anything from their account.

One solution was to simply redirect to a full login again, but that felt tedious and not “authentic” since the remember me cookie was still valid → making it seem like the “Remember me for 60 days” feature simply didn’t do anything.

It took far too long for me to become aware of this situation, but I eventually did, and our solution was to simply require a password-only reentry similar to your favorite password manager.

This blog also, finally, marks a turning point where I have begun to add/update the open-graph images for each blog post making it more sharing friendly. Cheers and happy holidays to everyone, hope you’re able to spend time with your loved ones.

I thought I’d make this topic for sharing any “tech” related blog posts from us (rather than in the very big topic where I share general updates)
