It seems gone in the last versions. I'd like to be able to set the site so that the session expires as the browser closes for the users choosing so and log them in automatically without an expiration date for those choosing so as well.
This is possible or not in the current version? Why such important and intuitive feature has been removed?

Please do a search on Drupal.org before posting here.

here's an old thread on this, that should cover what you need to know for now to deal with the situation. Consult the search as aforementioned if you want to read about the convoluted history.
Hi,
Scuse the vaguely nooby question, i'm just slowly coming up to speed with the Drupal codebase. I've seen that there's been some recent issues with the "remember me" feature of the login functionality. I notice that 4.5.1 does not offer the "remember me" UI element; Is there any support for this functionality in 4.5.1 or is the fix i've read about in a upcoming release.
In the case of the latter, a) is there a "quick and dirty fix" i can apply for now - maybe uber-long sessions? b) can anyone point me to the right files to pull from CVS to apply a manual patch. No. The story is somewhat convoluted, though.

Yes, that is what wie suggest. Look at the .htaccess file.
php_value session.cookie_lifetime 2000000
for apache 2 (most hosts will use that) you need to edit this .htaccess a little. For older apache the "stay logged in" feature works out of the box in Drupal.

I did, but it didn't bring to solutions.

I use apache 2 and I've edited the file replacing the line with the apache module. Still the sessions aren't saved.
They are if I go to the site after a few minutes, but if I return after a few hours the cookie doesn't seem to work.
Also, I had to edit the php.ini directly because the .htaccess file seems completely ignored. Both before and after the edit.
I guess the problem is somewhere else because by doing what was explained in the message didn't solve the problem and searching the drupal site also brought to nothing useful.
