1.0 didnt support password login.

Perhaps I'm referring to something else.  We used to be able to go the
UserPreferences page, give it a user name and password, and it would set
a cookie and remember the user.  The user name would then appear in the
upper right corner of every page.

That should set the cookie lifetime to quite some years. Maybe check if
that really happens.

The cookie is there.  It's got the right user ID in it.  I'm not sure
how to check it's expiration date though.

Strange.

Do you have duplicate account? Use scripts/moin-usercheck.py.

I ran scripts/moin-usercheck.bat, and it only displays run options - no
info about current users.  I checked the users folder, and I see one
user - my user ID.  Looking in the .pickle file, I show a single user -
me.



Thanks for the help.
