DESCRIPTION
|
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
The Remember Me module provides the familiar "Remember Me" option in
|
| 10 |
the user login form.
|
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
The administrator can control how long user logins are remembered and
|
| 13 |
specify which pages a remembered user can or cannot access without
|
| 14 |
explicitly logging in with a username and password (e.g. you cannot
|
| 15 |
change your password with just a remembered login). Users also have
|
| 16 |
the option of explicitly clearing all of their remembered logins.
|
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Remember Me is independent of the PHP session settings and is more
|
| 19 |
secure (and user-friendly) than simply setting a long PHP session
|
| 20 |
lifetime. Remember Me's design is based on "Persistent Login Cookie
|
| 21 |
Best Practice" by Charles Miller, 01/19/2004. See
