> Hi,
>  
> I encountered the following very strange situation that looks like a big security bug:
>  * I started a new instance of airflow with a database (using the puckel docker image for the record) and with the airflow.contrib.auth.backends.password_auth backend.
>  * I created a user on it by following [https://airflow.apache.org/security.html#password]
>  * I connected to the instance with my browser and I was asked to login
>  * I logged on the airflow instance, played with it a bit,
>  * I destroyed the instance as well as its database
>  * I created a new instance, still with the airflow.contrib.auth.backends.password_auth backend.
>  * I connected to the instance with my browser and I was NOT asked to login even though there was no user created on it!
> I think something is missing and the cookie of the browser (or whatever) is reused and trusted as if it was enough to authenticate the user.
