At some point in the past, before I joined the Drupal party, Drupal apparently had the standard "Remember Me" login functionality but it was removed. There was at least one long discussion about it on d.o a year or two ago and it resulted in patches to move ini_set calls into settings.php but did not result in a new Remember Me checkbox. I could not really tell why and several inquiries on #drupal went unanswered. Anyway, I have now created a new Remember Me module (presently in my sandbox, bjaspan/remember_me). Its design is based on "Persistent Login Cookie Best Practice" by Charles Miller, 01/19/2004, http://fishbowl.pastiche.org/2004/01/19/persistent_login_cookie_best_practic.... It is more user-friendly, flexible, and secure than a long-life PHP session. Although I do not propose adding to this core, since it is obviously security-critical I'd like to have it audited before I commit it to contrib. Any takers? Note to user 'doq': I see that you have already created a module called remember_me. I think this new one is substantially more complete and secure so I suggest we replace yours with it, though I welcome your suggestions and comments. Thanks, Barry
