Or disable the feature altogether. == Description == Take control of the "Remember Me" login feature for WordPress by having it enabled by default, customize how long users are remembered, or disable this built-in feature by default. 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" : The ability to 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" : The ability to customize how long WordPress will remember a login session when "Remember Me" is checked, either forever or a customizable number of hours. * Disable "Remember Me" : The ability to 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 (and possibly even just restarting) your browser then you will have to log in again since WordPress will not be able to locate the cookies needed to identify you. = Compatibility = Other than the plugins listed below, compatibility has not been tested or attempted for any other third-party plugins that provide their own login widgets or login handling. Special handling has been added to provide compatibility with the following plugins: * [BuddyPress](https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/) (in particular, its "Log in" widget) * [Sidebar Login](https://wordpress.org/plugins/sidebar-login/) * [Login Widget With Shortcode](https://wordpress.org/plugins/login-sidebar-widget/) Links: [Plugin Homepage](https://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/remember-me-controls/) | [Plugin Directory Page](https://wordpress.org/plugins/remember-me-controls/) | [GitHub](https://github.com/coffee2code/remember-me-controls/) | [Author Homepage](https://coffee2code.com) == Installation == 1. Whether installing or updating, whether this plugin or any other, it is always advisable to back-up your data before starting 1. Install via the built-in WordPress plugin installer. Or download and unzip `remember-me-controls.zip` inside the plugins directory for your site (typically `wp-content/plugins/`) 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" (without this plugin active), WordPress keeps you logged in for up to 14 days. = Why am I being asked to log in again even though I've configured the plugin to remember me forever (or an otherwise long enough duration that hasn't been met yet)? = 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, the site owner invalidates all existing login sessions, or you uninstall/reinstall (and possibly even just restart) your browser then you will have to log in again since WordPress will not be able to locate the cookies needed to identify you. = 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. = Do changes to the remember me duration take effect for all current login sessions? = No. The duration for which a login cookie is valid is defined within the cookie when it gets created (which is when you log in). Changing the setting for the remember me duration will only affect cookies created thereafter. You can log out and then log back in if you want the newly configured remember me duration to apply to your session. = What plugins is this plugin compatible with? = Special handling has been added to provide compatibility with the following plugins: * [BuddyPress](https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/) (in particular, its "Log in" widget) * [Sidebar Login](https://wordpress.org/plugins/sidebar-login/) * [Login Widget With Shortcode](https://wordpress.org/plugins/login-sidebar-widget/) = Is this plugin GDPR-compliant? = Yes. This plugin does not collect, store, or disseminate any information from any users or site visitors. = Does this plugin include unit tests? = Yes. == Screenshots == 1.
