   I do the same thing with WhatsApp, and the tab remains opens for months   
   before it asks again for the QR code. Of course I keep all cookies, as   
   designed. I don't send that many SMS, so I seldom need to open the SMS   
   session on the computer. I just tried (I keep a separate profile for   
   Google), loaded the appropriate Firefox window, went to the tab with   
   messages, and it connected to my phone displaying the messages just   
   fine, no password or anything asked.   
      
   Just as designed for.
