ASP.Net forms authentication does not work that way. Once you login an encrypted auth cookie is placed on your machine. 
It will not expire until the end of the Timeout as mentioned earlier or if you logout.  So next time you return, you will not have to enter any credentials, they will be passed automatically from the encrypted cookie.

The DNN code for logging in is in <root>/admin/secuitry/signin.ascx.vb, and the user control is <root>/admin/secuitry/signin.ascx

Ok, thanks for the explanation John and for pointing out the path to the signin pages. I appreciate it.

I will probably try to mimick the aforementioned behavior via an additional cookie. I will return and post my method upon completion in case anyone may find it useful.

It is also possible to set a custom expiration on the cookie in another place in the web.config - look for:

<add key="PersistentCookieTimeout" value="0"/>
<!--use as persistent cookie expiration. Value is in minutes, and only active if a non-zero figure-->

This value is looked at by the login code when setting the Auth cookie.  If the value is greater than zero it will use this value.  If not, it will use the default value you set in the forms tag.

Thanks for the input Shawn. I did as you suggested and set <add key="PersistentCookieTimeout" value="5"/> just for testing.

I don't see any difference. If I check the 'Remember Login' checkbox while logging in, then logout and immediately log back in, my password is not remembered.

What I find perplexing is, if this feature doen't work, why include the 'Remember Login' checkbox ? Or am I missing the purpose of this feature?

Hi Tigris:

I think what your are experiencing is a browser issue. What browser are you using?

When I use Firefox to revisit a site and click on the "User Name" field, the User Name is shown and if I click on it the password is automatically filled in. When I use IE7 the User Name is shown but the password is not; these are functions of the browsers. These are the settings (Options/Security - Passwords - Remember passwords for sites) in Firefox; I haven't found the settings for IE7. Hope this helps.
