Wait, does that mean that the only way to keep a login session for more than 7 days will be by using cookies? This seems like a terrible idea. Cookie authentication doesn't make sense in several scenarios, especially when working in a CORS context.

For webapps that keep a session token stored locally, this will be inevitably wiped, so users will have to re-login after that time. I can already hear the complaints coming. Should devs now build a back end just to keep the token, and connect there with a cookie?
