That is an interesting question… the answer is likely kind of. The functionality exists, the question is what should be the trigger to cause a login? The way Android works a rotation of the screen causes a complete rebuilding of the app. I am guessing a timeout would work.

@Patrick do you have ideas about when to trigger login again?
