Hi Chris,
thanks for reporting.

As I can see, it's reproducible in 'master' only.

Yes, for sure I will review your patch.

null comment. (I want to add myself to the CC list, and this is the only way I can, because this site violates its own CSP)

Since commit `787eaed wire up new auth code`, Screen will always request a password on reattaching, even when the session was detached using C-a d or even due to a network issue.

Looking through the code, I can't see a way to configure this.

I often use Screen to work over unreliable connections, sometimes even through something like `autossh`. Older versions of Screen would reconnect seamlessly, but now I'm having to enter my password every 15 minutes, which gets pretty frustrating :(

Steps to reproduce:

 $ screen
 [C-a D]
 $ screen -R
 screen used by Name <username> on hostname.
 Password:

Is this a deliberate change or an accidental regression? Are there any plans to make this configurable? Or would there be any objections to making it configurable if I got around to writing a patch?

Thanks!
Chris
