You can always manipulate the session cookies manually. Use
$c->get_session_cookie, it returns a CGI::Simple::Cookie.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
->config->{Plugin::Session::State::Cookie}{cookie_expires} = 0;

$c->authenticate;
$c->get_session_cookie->expires($ttl) if $remember_user;
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Should do the trick.
