"Remember me" option for users

I am guessing because the dev branches might not stable and still undergoing change. CI4 is not released yet with a stable branch so CI3 is the current version you should be using (I think it is up to 3.1.6 at the moment).

To do a remember me you set a different cookie and check for that on first start up, but there are security implications with anything auth related which is why I imagine Paradnight suggested the links he did (and they are worth a read if you have not already).

Personally I have not used one yet, preferring to assume the computer has shared access. Browsers typically do a great job of remembering passwords so I have never seen the point, even if I log in every day to a particular site of mine. Having said that, I was just thinking that I love the way CI forums keep me logged in and was thinking about trying one.

So thank you to paradnight for some great links to get me started too..
