Hi, sorry for late reply; always overlooking the messages for me.

Good news: the feature is there already, it is just disabled in the
standard distribution (for plain security reasons; after all it is a bit
more insecure than logging in repeatedly).

Just set

$UA2AllowCookieLogin

to true somewhere in your local/config.php. The cookie expire time (in
seconds),

$UA2CookieExpireTime

is set to 30 days by default.
