Hotot does not save authentication information between sessions, forcing the user to re-input--and occasionally retoken--every session.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please answer these questions:

* Is this reproducible?
* If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?

This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

Simply add an account and every time you start Hotot, you will have to either re-login to the account or--and this happens without rhyme or reason--renew your token. Nothing special must be done to replicate this bug. The previous version of Hotot did not have this issue.

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
