I'd like to keep valid login tickets and at the same time allow users to log in normally with their passwords.

For my workflow I need to have simple access for partners to assess users' performance. To keep everything attached to user profiles, partners gain direct access to one nodeprofile using user's accounts (via fastlogin). It's not safe or bulletproof, but the priority is to be smooth and easy (or partners just skip assessment). However, login tickets expire when user logs in normally, and they often do before partners do their assessment (and for many reasons it has to stay this way).

Is there a way to hack the login ticket API to allow that (I don't think it's a necessary feature)?
