Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Remember Me Controls
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.
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. Also, if you changed the remember me duration but hadn't logged out after having done so, that particular login session would still be affected by the default (or previously configured) duration.
You can't (and probably shouldn't). With a session length of less than an hour you risk timing out users too quickly.
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. More precisely, the changes take effect for all new logins, which can happen after a preexisting login session expires, the user logs out, or the user's cookies are cleared in their browser (manually or automatically).
Certain settings being enabled may disable other settings that get superceded by the enabled setting. For instance, if the "Never remember?" setting is enabled, then all other settings are disabled since they wouldn't apply. The onscreen help text for each setting indicates what other settings are relatedly affected.
As explained in the previous FAQ entry, changes to the plugin's settings only take effect the next time a user logs in. Existing login sessions will abide by the remember me duration configured at the time they logged into their current session. The login cookies for a user session can become invalidated by the visitor by logging out or clearing their cookies. Here are some options to force all active login sessions to abide by the current login session duration: * Manually refresh your site's authentication keys and salts. * Use WP-CLI to regenerate salts. * Use the plugin WPForce Logout (to force session logouts) or Salt Shaker (to regenerate salts). Note: Plugins are merely suggestions and not necessarily recommendations.
