Remembered settings are different between http and https

Describe the bug
localstorage counts the http and https sites as different locations, and thus login credentials are not shared across them.

Expected behavior
Remembered settings should be the same across http and https sites

Browse to PMS:32400/identity, and use the machineIdentifier as the ID to store it in

Or grap it from https://plex.tv/api/v2/resources and use clientIdentifier

Separating http and https versions of this or any website is a core principle to security.
The localstorage is not shared because it would be unsecure to do so.

Yeah, I know it's intent, but my thinking was for convenience it would be useful to do something. But any method that would achieve this would either be hacky, or require a backend, which opens up its own set of security implications. Just going to close this one.
