EdBrowse forgets Google authentication

When I sign in to my Google account in EdBrowse, it asks for 2-factor authentication via SMS. After entering the verification code, EdBrowse stores several cookies in my cookie jar, which should include the setting "do not ask again on this computer". But when I restart EdBrowse and sign in again, Google does ask for 2-factor authentication again. So for some reason the cookies are not getting handled like normal.

Hello. I think I may have fixed this on master. I can't really test for you, because I don't have 2-factor set up for my google account right now. Give it a spin, and please tell me whether or not it helped.

I just tried it and it didn't work. Neither "do not ask again on this computer" for the 2FA nor the "remember me" feature seem to work - when restarting edbrowse, I need to relogin and do the 2-factor-authentification again.

I just noticed my mistake - I haven't specified a cookie-jar in .ebrc on this machine...

Works a treat now, issue may be closed.
