So pushing the user through the api authentication process would provide the browser with the same cookies/data that a normal site login would provide, so future interactions inside that same browser would be with that user account. That makes sense. | |

I think some tweaks to global login may be sufficient, so that authenticating an app would effectively log you into all sites (upon first hit to them anyway). | |
