Description Ilmari Karonen 2011-01-06 01:44:33 UTC 
Currently, the cookies set when logging in via the API are always persistent. It would be nice if ApiLogin.php took an optional boolean parameter to control this behavior and passed it along to LoginForm (via the wpRemember parameter).

This should be pretty easy to implement, I just don't feel like doing it just now and I'm not that familiar with the API internals anyway.  I might do it sometime later if no-one else does it first.

Sort of related to bug 26538, but not really the same thing.
Comment 1 Sam Reed (reedy) 2011-06-05 21:51:32 UTC 
r89537
Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2011-06-06 19:19:04 UTC 
Reopening; r89537 caused test breakage and may not be correct.
Comment 3 Sam Reed (reedy) 2011-06-06 19:27:22 UTC 
Reverted in r89537 pending a better fix
Comment 4 Bryan Tong Minh 2011-07-08 18:40:19 UTC 
You can add an inverted boolean like nonpersistent=1 to fix this.
Comment 5 Krinkle 2011-07-08 18:48:28 UTC 
Perhaps something like 

rememberme && rememberme =='0'

(or rememberme !== '0' ), depending on how overwriting/appending is done.
