When the Remember me check box is selected at login, a cookie is stored on the user's computer. This cookie automatically authenticates the user upon subsequent visits.

If the user logs out, the cookie is destroyed. The default value of the Remember me check box is controlled by one property, and whether or not the check box appears on the login page is controlled by a different property.

Two properties, glide.ui.user_cookie.life_span_in_days and glide.ui.user_cookie.max_life_span_in_days control the glide_user system generated cookie expiration value. When a user accesses an instance with 'remember me' enabled, the access resets the cookie expiration period until the maximum (glide.ui.user_cookie.max_life_span_in_days) life span limit is reached.

Note: To learn more about these properties, see the following topics in Instance Security Hardening Settings:
