Security :: "Remember Me Next Time" - Does It Really Work
Dec 21, 2010
I have a .net 3.5 app that uses forms authentication. I recently decided to utilize the built-in "Remember me next time" on the login screen. I thought it would be a very simple thing (it is a 'built-in' feature afterall). Unfortunately it did not work on the first try. I then spend many hours browsing the Net and reading many posts about problems associated with the feature. My environment is as follows:
client machine: XP SP3, IE8
server: Windows Server 2008, IIS7, application .net 3.5
The relevant sections in the Web.config in the root of the app directory:
I am new to c# and i have problem in using login control. I made a simple login page and it works fine but i dont know how to use the remember me next time option.
In login control of asp.net there is a remember me checkbox. What is the functionality of this checkbox? What it does basically? Is there any way to put space between checkbox and its associated label?
I saw Windows Live login control has an extra checkbox Remember my password? How can we achieve this feature in our custom login control? I have read many tutorials but I can not able to solve my queries.
i have a login, and wanted to know how i could use the remember me function, (so each time the user visits the site, even though they are not logged in, it would auto log them in) but without using the actual remember me checkbox. Is there any extra code i need to write, and if so, what?
On the website I am working on it has been deployed but the problem I am facing is that when I enter a username and password and click on the check box to remember...It remembers the password for sometime.. wen I login in after 5 or 10 minutes it remembers the password but aftr a long period of time like about 2hours it forgets the username and password and i have to type it in all over again... this dint used to happen with the old server as even I could sign in and it remembered the password the next day until i log off... what can be the reason
im having a login control in my website with a remember me option. i check the remember me but it does not remember me. here is a part of my web.config. i browsed over the other answers on this forum but nothing :( I also have the cookies allowed
We have a page where we ask users to enter only password in "enter password page" (the user name is taken in previous page).
The Issue is that when the page that asks user to enter password is opened in browser and when user enters password and clicks submit button, the browser does not ask the user to remember/save password,
Due to this when user opens that page next time, user have to retype the password.
You might have seen that in almost all sites whenever we open a login page, the browser asks weather we want to remember the password for next visit.
From the research done so far, we have found that browser remembers password only when the username and password textboxs are on the same page. But in our case we split down the username textbox and password textbox in two different pages.
Is there any way to let browser ask to user weather to remember/save password in "enter password page"?
I would like to set the Login which will log auto when he return to site, if the user hasent logged off the site.and if he enter the site again he'll be logged in already.
I'm currently developing a website using .net MVC 3 and I'm on the authentication layer...Here is the scenario: user is logged with the "remember me" option checked : a user Session is created on the server as well as the authentication cookie on the client side.The Session timeout is set to 20 minutes.After 25 minutes of inactivity the user goes back onto the website and Session, now expired, does not exist anymore but the authentication cookie still exists
This code worked until I published a recent set of changes to the web site. It's very strange behavior that I am having trouble debugging. Basically, I implemented some custom code to allow custom configuration of login timeouts from an app settings variable.
When debugging the application, if I click remember me or not, Login works perfectly. Once I post the updated code to the live server, login only works if I have the Remember Me option unchecked. If I check remember me, it does not log in, and it cycles the user back to the default web page. If I access the site from IE on the live server, remember me works correctly.
When clicked on particular URL, i need to pass whether user has checked REMEMBER ME CHECKBOX while logging in. How can I determine this using FOrmsAuthentication mechanism?
I have a issue, when I checked the "remember me" check box when login, but login is doesnt worked. If i unchecked the "remember me", the login function just working fine. It's weird, because this only happen in my production server, it's working fine in my local mechine.
In my asp.net application I user Microsoft Membership to manage site access security and find the time saved into LastLoginDate is ahead of local time (Eastern Time Zone) 3 hours. What is wrong with it and how to ajust it to local time by application system only such as changing some properties od application?
I've got a Silverlight project that is very low security but does use the membership provider for logging in members to post in a forum. I wrote my own login/out and pw change functions which all seem to work fine but regardless of what I do, you're asked to log in in a short time (probably the 30 min default).
In my log in I have this, which I thought set the persistence as true:
I have a page on which there is a parent organisation followed by a list of child organisations. To view the data of these child organisations, there is a GO button for each child organisation. I set the ID of the child organisation in a cookie on the click of the GO button. When I come back to the home page, I delete the cookie.
My problem is that in IE 8 the first time the GO button works fine. But when I come back to the home page and click on the GO button of the same child organisation, the ID is not set in the cookie.
This problem does not occur in Firefox at all.
This is the code in JavaScript where I set the cookie and then call my page.
function GetOrganisation(id, path) { $.get('<%=Url.Action("SetOrganisationID", "AdminSettings") %>', { 'Organisationid': id }, function (data) { if (data.Success) { $.get('<%=Url.Action("GetOrganisationDetails", "AdminSettings") %>', { 'Organisationid': id });
I have a link containing ID & name on the URL, based on the ID & name i returned image data from DB via asp.net method. The link is not loading the image first time when the link is clicked, when you refresh again the image comes back.
having an impossible time getting asp.net 4.0 to work in any fashion at all. In fact, I completely wiped my server,reinstalled with Server 2008 R2 Standard (running on a VMWare ESXi box, not that it should matter),and cannot even get a test .aspx page to work.
