It is the same; you just dont have to handle the cookies, CF does it for you so cleaner code IMO. Is this not right?

How would that negate the need for cookies then Dom?
You still need a cookie to identify your session so that the correct client
variables are loaded. So it's the same as using session variables.
And if the client variables expire, where will the login details come from?

It can also be done using client variables if you have them enabled in the
application. This handles all the cookies for you:

IF remember me selected...
client.username = form.username
   client.password = form.password

Just remember to clear them when they logout (remember me status should be
cleared when someone logs out)

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
