Feature idea: Cookie sharing/relaying (lemmy.ml)

EDIT: Yeah... bad idea. Got it.

I've been thinking about this for while. Sometimes there are situations where I have to log into one of my accounts temporarily to look at or take something and logging in is usually a pain in the ass or straight up uncomfortable.

So my idea is that this feature will allow to temporarily share/relay the cookies stored in the mobile browser that are used to remember logged in accounts (login credentials?) over a secure wireless or wired USB connection to use with the desktop browser (in a temporary container/session to not conflict with other users' data) in order to do whatever I do and then wipe out all data upon mobile device removal.

So... what do you think?

It would be an awesome feature for scammer and phishers. Now with a single click you can phish all the accounts at the same time instead of a single one. Much more productivity
