Chapter 9: Advanced Login

[jonsgreene]

The basic login system developed in Chapter 8 is fully functional, but most modern websites include the ability to “remember” users when they visit the site again even if they’ve closed their browsers in the interim. In this chapter, we use permanent cookies to implement this behavior. We’ll start by automatically remembering users when they log in (Section 9.1), a common model used by sites such as Bitbucket and GitHub. We’ll then add the ability to optionally remember users using a “remember me” checkbox, a model used by sites such as Twitter and Facebook.
