everyone uses email for password resets anyway, and most people persist sessions. i always thought we should just email the user a link if their session has expired. there's no reason to have passwords. this is the scheme sandstorm already uses. maybe i find this less annoying since i have a dedicated terminal window for my email, and don't have to hunt around tabs for it? do people who use web-based email lose their email tabs?

This is an excellent and care-free way to do it. I didn't even consider persisting e-mail tokens, but that makes so much sense! Thanks!
