The other advantage is that you can get round the whole "session logging
you out half-way through editing makes for angry clients" scenario...

CF automatically creates the cookies for session and client variables to
manage your session.
But that's not really what were talking about.
The whole point in saving your login details in a cookie is so that you can
be automatically logged into a website every time you revisit, even if it is
6 months later.

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
