include 'remember me' check in login form

[dr.pepper]

Hi

I'm starting to work with prestashop, and I want to ask if there is an option to activate a 'remember me' checkbox in login form, so the user next time access to the shop has the user and password fields filled with his info.

 

I'm refering to login form from Hook-Top, corresponding 'my account block' module I guess.

 

Many thanks in advance.

Once a customer is logged in, they are automatically "remembered" for a period of time, which is configured. Once that period of time passes, they must re-authenticate by providing email and password again.

 

There is no remember me check box.

Hi, thanks.

but you're refering 'remember' by prestashop, not by web browser, is right?

and if so, where can you configure that session time in prestashop?

 

Again, many thanks.

It's a cookie thing, the life of the cookie can be set in preferences (Life of the Front Office cookie).

So as each web browser collects their own cookies if you visited the shop with Chrome and logged in you would be remembered for the time period set in preferences and for that time each visit would have you already logged in.

However if on the same computer you then visited with IE or Firefox you would have to log in again.

So to resume:

 

- Prestashop doesn't have an 'remember me' option like, for example, this forum.

- The browser is that 'remember' o not the user by use of cookies, asking before to user if he wants to store it in the computer.

- You can configure time session in Prestashop.

 

Excellent. Many thanks everyone for your answers.
