Reduce the time spent re-logging in by improving the 401 - unauthorized page

When not visiting the page for some time, it will log out the user.
When an unidentified user (one who is not logged in) clicks on link, which would forward them to the page, which requires authentication, they see this page:

I think that the login button is far away and for veteran users it can be confusing that the website requires too much interaction from them to open the page they want to visit.

I first thought about auto-forwarding the user to the schauth page and then back to the requested page.
However @triszt4n suggested that new users would be confused if they were forwarded to the schauth page without any notice.

So I am thinking about putting an additional login form above the cat picture, so it would require cursor movement to log in.

Maybe this form also could have an "auto-login" button, that creates a cookie on the users computer, so when their keys expire, they can skip this page all together.

Or we could store auth information in a JsonWebToken (JWT), so it would not expire that often.

I wanted to send the same issue. On mobile platforms, the login button is not visible (it is collapsed).

I think a big red button would be nice (and easy to implement?) for starters. I would appreciate it.
