Description
We need not input credentials every time we want to install AltStore
this is an open-source project and it is safe to have this feature to remember credentials.
If there are risks, the user should be able to enable this option and be responsible for their own decisions.
Not sure about everyone, but I usually miss the 7 days deadline to refresh all apps. that means i have to type in apple ID password everytime and install alt-server again, which is painful.

Research direction
Start by locating the Swift code that prompts for Apple ID credentials during AltStore installation and refresh. Determine how an opt-in remembered-credentials flow could be handled safely, then verify that credentials are reused for later refreshes and that the option and associated risks are clear to users.
