What is the purpose of remember me in login page?
Use the “remember me” option to reduce how often you have to sign in with two-factor authentication (2FA) on the same web browser. It's safe to use on trusted computers, and lasts for 30 days.
How does remember me functionality work?
The remember-me feature typically works by generating a unique cookie, associating it with the user in the database, and adding a persistent cookie (i.e. a cookie which is saved on disk by the browser) to the response once the user is logged in.
What does it mean to stay signed in?
When logging in from the website's main page, you can stay signed in from the next time you access the page by clicking "Stay signed in". (This function uses cookies.) By doing this, you can conveniently stay signed in without having to enter your login ID and password each time.
