How does Ion Auth (or other auth libraries) handle "remember me" and codeigniter sessions?

I haven't dug into the IonAuth library either (created my own for learning CI) but if it implemented a remember_me function correctly it has nothing to do with a session but rather with a cookie. So whenever the session runs out (and is not renewed by CI's session library) IonAuth looks for a "remember_me" cookie to log the user back in. This "remember_me" cookie however will be invalid after some time as well, so that the user cannot be logged in years later.

Hope this kinda answered your question !?
