Save password in client cookies #4

Closed Alextopher closed 1 year ago

We have a tradeoff between security and convenience. Currently go-talks requires clients joining from outside trusted subsets to enter a password. This imposes an inconvenience and in return we get more access control.

Talks is able to store authentication status during a single session, this should be made persistent on the client side so a user should only ever have to enter the password once.

@shayanshabani are you a Clarkson student or do you use this software? What brings you to wanting to contribute here?
