We once created a very basic solution, which did not requires storing
data in the session. Therefore we replaced fe_session with a custom
session cookie:

https://github.com/gebruederheitz/gh_onetimesession/blob/master/Classes/Authentication/OnetimeAuthentication.php
https://github.com/gebruederheitz/gh_onetimesession/blob/master/Classes/Session/OnetimeSession.php

In this extension, you get a valid TSFE->user once the session was
started. The visitor can access content/pages which are limited to
certain fe_groups or logged in users.

We never tried to use fe_session. That was out of scope. If there is a
way to use that, I would be happy to read about it.
