Hmmm you could store a cookie with a value of "has logged in before" or
go with a "Your session may have expired or you have not logged in using
this browser before".

Or if you store user data somewhere (some sort of DB) you might have a
flag that indicates if they have logged in before and act accordingly as
well.

Just some thoughts.
