Remember me functionality with Forms Authentication.

Question

Hello All I am the new one in ASP.NET MVC and assigned with a task that I have to create a login form with remember me option. I have created the login form functionality with validation and all. But when I am going to create remember me functionality I was confused because I have to create it like when I am login first time with check on remember me it will logged in(no logout direct browser closed) and when I am coming to login for second time it has to do direct login for me.(No need of password). So please can any one give me the code snippet or demo project for this because I have searched a lot and find the different type of ways but again confused. Thanks

Use Cookie. Below code is for ASP.Net (Not MVC) but you can use the same idea in MVC also. After successful login store the username in Cookie. if (chkRememberMe.Checked) { Response.Cookies[UserName].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(30); } else { Response.Cookies[UserName].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1); } Response.Cookies[UserName].Value = txtUserName.Text.Trim(); Now in the login page load check the cookie and login automatically if cookie exists. if (!IsPostBack) { if (Request.Cookies[UserName] != null ) { AutoLoginAndGoHome(Request.Cookies[UserName].Value); } }
