What does remember me checkbox mean?
If you could save yourself effort from typing in your login credentials on each site visit, would you do it? Most people would. That's why the “Remember me” option on logins exists. Ticking that checkbox means users don't have to re-type their login info on the next visit.
What is the danger of checking the Remember Me box on a public web browser?
Information technology strongly recommends that you do not click to have sites remember you, your password, etc. The reason for this is that it is easier for third parties to access your login credentials if the credentials are saved in a web browser.
