Failure with cookie authentication patch required as workaround

[philippelt]

I am using streamlit-Authenticator which works almost fine except that cookie faster reauthentication never worked.

I am using streamline 1.20.0 and streamlit-authenticator 0.2.1 with python 3.10.6

I've done some analysis and found that the problem is in the module streamlit_authenticator/authenticate.pyat line #106.

The function call :

self.token = self.cookie_manager.get(self.cookie_name)

do NOT return the token value but return None (I checked that the browser effectively sent the cookie properly).

I replaced this line by:

allCookies = self.cookie_manager.get_all()
self.token = allCookies.get(self.cookie_name, None)

and then the correct token value is recovered and processed as expected allowing me to recover authentication.

Any idea why the get do not work ?
