Authenticate does not update yaml file

[cdebrier]

Hi,

Thanks so much for this useful library!

I have got an issue where authenticate() does not automatically update the yaml file (login count, hashing, etc.).

If I use the yaml dump command that works, but then I have to put it at different places in my code.

From your documentation, I read:

13. Updating the config file
    Please ensure that the config file is re-saved whenever the contents are modified or after using any of the widgets or buttons.
    with open('../config.yaml', 'w') as file:
    yaml.dump(config, file, default_flow_style=False)
    Please note that this step is not required if you are providing the config file as a path to the Authenticate class.

Could this be a bug?

Thanks so much for your assistance!

Hi @mkhorasani , is there any solution to this problem. The credential for a guest_login is not updated when using the logout function. So a guest user cannot successfully logout because the guest user key is not in the credential object under logout when logout is called, though the config file contains the updated credentials.
