But that seems to be in line with the rest of that library/system, it is hardly documented at all. It's also not obvious to me how to actually configure the backend used to store the secrets passed to the service. So if you found a way to make the collection permanent I am interested. If your patch is merely renaming the collection to "Login" then we can't accept that patch as it wouldn't fix anything. Tobias
