Hello [MSFT],

FormsAuthentication does NOT rely on the session. It uses cookies - you can
use a flaw in formsauth to make your life easier - use a persistent cookie
(microsoft was kind enough to choose 50 years as the default expiration time).

in other words : never use persistent cookies in production.
