Description
Not sure why you need the gorilla/sessions package but updating the intenal depemdencies to the latest version breaks gothic login:
```
github.com/gorilla/securecookie v1.1.1 // indirect
github.com/gorilla/sessions v1.2.2 // indirect
```
Upgrading to:
```
github.com/gorilla/securecookie v1.1.2 // indirect
github.com/gorilla/sessions v1.2.1 // indirect
```
Causes the login to fail with the message displayed on the screen
```
securecookie: hash key is not set
```
In addition the following message is displayed:
```
goth/gothic: no SESSION_SECRET environment variable is set. The default cookie store is not available and any calls will fail. Ignore this warning if you are using a different store.
```
Note! I do not use the default cookie store, so I ignore this message.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the gothic login failure with the listed gorilla/securecookie and gorilla/sessions versions, then inspect the gothic login path and SESSION_SECRET/default cookie-store handling. Done means identifying the dependency-related cause and restoring successful login when a custom store is used, without relying on the default cookie store.
