Usually yes, you hash the username/password, store in cookie.

So in the database, your usernames/passwords would also be hashed.

So under normal login procedure, you HASH the form.username and
form.password and compare to database.
If the user has a cookie.username and cookie.password, you check these first
(without hashing them), if they fail, kick to login page.

On loggong in some sites have a small checkbox that says remember me on this
computer.

How is this done?
Is the persons password saved with Hash() in a cookie?

Thanks
Allan
