When switching Wi-Fi networks, the Launcher seems to forget the login token, forcing you to login again.
To Reproduce:
1. Make sure you are logged in on the launcher screen.
2. Close the launcher
3. Connect to a different Wi-Fi network
4. Reopen the launcher
5. It should bring up the username screen, and will not allow you to login until reentering your credentials

I've been able to replicate this same issue using two networks (not necessarily just wifi networks).
At first glance, it looks like access tokens are being linked to IP's now. Not sure if that's intentional. I remember being able to change networks without any issue.
However, I don't have a proxy nor two wired connections with a different IP to confirm that the IP change is the issue and not some other factor.
I just confirmed that this is still an issue in 2.0.320-stage. This time with a proxy (switching between two different IP addresses) rather than switching across networks. This might be something with the authentication servers, either intentional or not.
I'm not sure if this is still a problem in version 2.1.1216. Can anyone confirm that this has been fixed?
I suppose this problem would also occur in a home WiFi or other shared WiFi with multiple clients, so that different devices get reassigned different IP addresses? Or is it only the public IP address that matters? In which case it would only happen when the broadband provider assigns a different public IP address to the customer router.
Because I get the problem when reconnecting to my own WiFi network, not just when connecting to a different WiFi network.
I don't know if this is related to MCL-4898 or not.
