I spent an hour trying to figure out how to tell if that checkbox was
checked or not. I must have logged in and out 50 times today. There is
absolutely no way I can see to tell if the user checked that.

It's driving me nuts.

Yes, I have some sneaky ideas how to store the connection token in a
reasonably safe way without requiring a pin or anything. It's all of
course just obfuscation (given that we're an open source project), but I
think it would work reasonably well.
