"Remember Me" Functionality

[TCORDON]

Can someone give me a sample or point me in the direction of one, on how to
implement User "Remember Me" option when logging into a website?

TIA

The best method is to place a cookie on the user's computer and detect it on
later visits. If the cookie exists, then log the user in. You can check the
cookie in either JavaScript or ASP.NET. Do a search on ASP.NET Cookies or
JavaScript Cookies for a ton of examples.

If you use Forms Authentication, one of the options you can set when logging a user in is to create a persistant cookie.

FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie("joeuser", True) <-- would create a persistant cookie
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie("joeuser", False) <-- would not create a persistant cookie

If you are using a checkbox, you can do this:

FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie("joeuser", CheckBox1.Checked) <-- would
create a persistant cookie
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie("joeuser", CheckBox1.Checked) <-- would
not create a persistant cookie

OR

You can use

FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage("username", CheckBox1.Checked)


So, the Checkbox1.Checked returns a Boolean value
