Remember Me
Remembers me retains the session details and has a default expiry/lifetime cookie. This cookie is valid for 15 days or the user explicitly signing-out out of the application whichever comes first.
How it works
If user login with “remember me” checked in the application’s login page, the system will create & store a “remember me” cookie in the requested browser. Subsequent attempts to open the application with a valid “remember me” cookie will automatically allows the user to be logged-in into the application without asking for credentials again.
Remember-Me is all about automated login to take place in your application by adding “remember me” cookie in the request header.
