=== Remember Me Controls === Contributors: coffee2code Donate link: http://coffee2code.com/donate Tags: login, remember, remember me, cookie, session, coffee2code Requires at least: 3.1 Tested up to: 3.3 Stable tag: 1.2 Version: 1.2 Have "Remember Me" checked by default on logins, configure how long a login is remembered, or disable the "Remember Me" feature altogether. == Description == Take control of the "Remember Me" feature for WordPress. For those unfamiliar, "Remember Me" is a checkbox present when logging into WordPress. If checked, WordPress will remember the login session for 14 days. If unchecked, the login session will be remembered for only 2 days. Once a login session expires, WordPress will require you to log in again if you wish to continue using the admin section of the site. This plugin provides three primary controls over the behavior of the "Remember Me" feature: * Automatically check "Remember Me" : Have the "Remember Me" checkbox automatically checked when the login form is loaded (it isn't checked by default). * Customize the duration of the "Remember Me" : Customize how long WordPress will remember a login session when "Remember Me" is checked. * Disable "Remember Me" : Completely disable the feature, preventing the checkbox from appearing and restricting all login sessions to one day. NOTE: WordPress remembers who you are based on cookies stored in your web browser. If you use a different web browser, clear your cookies, use a browser on a different machine, or uninstall/reinstall your browser then you will have to log in again since WordPress will not be able to locate the cookies needed to identify you.

Whether installing or updating, whether this plugin or any other, it is always advisable to back-up your data before starting 1. Unzip `remember-me-controls.zip` inside the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory (or install via the built-in WordPress plugin installer) 1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' admin menu in WordPress 1. Go to "Settings" -> "Remember Me" and configure the settings == Frequently Asked Questions == = How long does WordPress usually keep me logged in? = By default, if you log in without "Remember Me" checked, WordPress keeps you logged in for up to 2 days. If you check "Remember Me", WordPress keeps you logged in for up to 14 days. = How can I set the session duration to less than an hour? = You can't (and probably shouldn't). With a session length of less than an hour you risk timing out users too quickly. == Screenshots == 1. A screenshot of the plugin's admin settings page. 2.
