Login / authentication advice... - El Forum - 08-11-2010

So I was working on a way of remembering a user's login, and the simplest way I thought of doing it was using CI's session helper, and adding a user's ID to the user_data field for the row in the sessions table when they log in.
I admit I'm a bit new to sessions and handling them securely, especially in regards to "remember me" features, but is there any particular reason this isn't a good idea?
