Security :: Using "remember Me" Function Without Through Remember Me Checkbox
May 26, 2010
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?
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.
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
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?
It pulls through the Username correctly from the cookie, however the CheckBox for Remember Me does not become checked when I view the page, even though the code for setting it on the Page_Load is being executed.
LoggedIn event for setting the cookies protected void lLogin_LoggedIn(object sender, EventArgs e) { // If Remember me then set an appropriate cookie if (lLogin.RememberMeSet) [code]...
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.
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.
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.
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'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 classic ObjectDataSource and a ListView in my page. The List view just displays some data and when switched to edit template it allows the user to change the values. I want the user to edit just some values -- so I bind just these ones in the edit template.
The problem is that the other values suddenly turn to nulls or 0. I tried to bind all of the values at once and it works fine, but I cannot understand why the old/original values just disappear. Is there any way how to bind the old values?
I am using the TextBoxWatermark extender ASP.NET AJAX extender this works great, but i still want to have the comfort for my users, that the textbox remembers their entries e.g.:
Login=> TextBox with UserName
- if two people are using the same computer, they don't want to type UserName each time again instead click in the box and choose their UserName or start typing and their UserName is than suggested.
It seems to be a standard funktion that a TextBox remembers the entries you did. Unforantly when using the watermark extender on a textbox it simply does not work anymore.
Is there a way to enable this ā€˛feature" again?
When looking at the example of the TextBoxWatermark ASP.NET AJAX extender: [URL] it is not working their as well.
