That's not what the remember me option is supposed to do -- it does not
automatically fill in the login form if you are logged out. Without the
remember me option checked, a login lasts only as long as the browser
session -- if you close the browser and then open it again, you will no
longer be logged in (because login status is maintained in a session
cookie, which expires with the browser session). The remember me option
changes the cookie from a session cookie to a non-session cookie with a
longer expiration -- so even if you close the browser and come back
sometime later, you will still be logged in.
However, even if you log in with the remember me option checked, if you
explicitly log out, you will not remain logged in -- you must log in again
to be re-authenticated.
