I fear that is not possible, because that is one of the main features of the kiosk mode. As far as I know kiosk mode mainly serves two purposes:

  • fullscreen "pseudolock"
  • browsing without any user data

Since you don't want the first, maybe --bswi (browse without sign in) might do the trick for you.
