Is there a way to have "remember me" functionality across gateways - at least across a primary and backup?

What I would like to see:

If a user is logged in to Ignition with remember me selected.... if a failover event occurs to backup gateway, it automatically logs them back in... it does not prompt them to log back in.

It's a real concern for us to force a control room to log back in to Ignition when a failover occurs, causing time where they are blind to the running plant.

Bonus would be great if we could persist login across other gateways as well... we run numerous different projects on different gateways and for some users that have to look at several of these, they very often have to re-login from gateway to gateway.

I think this is a use case for an [Identity Provider Authentication Strategy | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/platform/security/identity-provider-authentication-strategy) identity provider
