Additional context or thoughts

I thought that's the whole purpose of authorize button - to save user session so that it's not lost on refresh

Is this going to be merged anytime soon ?
It is pretty troublesome to put the authentication part in every time you refresh the UI.

5939 implements this and includes a feature flag (disabled by default).

I hope SmartBear folks will take a look soon!
