One more question if I may. Consider a case where remember me cookies need to be used. Let's say each of these cookies stores a username and a matching token / random number. I would guess this would require adding a few lines to _ensure_authenticated_user so that if no login_name session is found the function will look for a remember me cookie and if it find one, it will validate it against a database. While I think a design like that would work, I wonder if it would be considered a good design.[/quote]

Yeah, that's correct and how most people do it.
