I used this before and it was really decent, actually had it as a build step on some dev preview stuff. Only moved to basic auth because getting it to remember people through re-deploys was a faff so it became annoying when it wasn’t working (I’m aware it has a solution to this problem but it wasn’t really working for me easily)

Glad you enjoyed it before switching!

If you're open to sharing what didn't work for you in remembering people through re-deploy I'd love to hear it, I spent quite a few brain-cycles to think about making that as seamless as possible for the user (semver major version bump shouldn't break this, for example).

I'm assuming the problem is the salt being changed if it's not pinned by the .staticrypt.json file (auto-created but needs to be commited) or the `-s <salt>` CLI option.
