Comment (by atagar):

 No strong opinion here from me, but for what it's worth SecureCookie auth
 is a bit trickier for controllers to implement...

 https://gitweb.torproject.org/stem.git/tree/stem/connection.py#n743

 By dropping normal cookie authentication we may encourage some folks to
 use either password auth (or if they find that annoying, drop
 authentication altogether).
