module Authlogic
module ActsAsAuthentic
# This is one of my favorite features that I think is pretty cool. It's things like this that make a library great
# and let you know you are on the right track.
#
# Just to clear up any confusion, Authlogic stores both the record id and the persistence token in the session.
# Why? So stale sessions can not be persisted. It stores the id so it can quickly find the record, and the
# persistence token to ensure no sessions are stale. So if the persistence token changes, the user must log
# back in.
#
# Well, the persistence token changes with the password. What happens if the user changes his own password?
# He shouldn't have to log back in, he's the one that made the change.
#
# That being said, wouldn't it be nice if their session and cookie information was automatically updated?
# Instead of cluttering up your controller with redundant session code. The same thing goes for new
# registrations.
#
# That's what this module is all about. This will automatically maintain the cookie and session values as
# records are saved.
