What is remember me login?

March 22nd, 2008 Patrick Leave a comment

We provide this option to keep you from having to enter your user name and password every time you return. We’ve added this feature solely for your benefit, to save you time and to keep you from having to remember yet another password!

Remember me

What happens if I click the “Remember Me” box?
By checking this box, you’ll stay logged in for up to 2 weeks or until you logged out.

If you check the “remember me” box, we’ll put a small cookie on your computer that will let us know who you are next time you login again. Each time you return to the admin panel, you will be logged in automatically. (If you use a different computer, you will need to log in again.) This cookie does nothing more than “remember” you to the website.

What if I share my computer with others?
If other people use your PC, you may not want to use “remember me” . If you do, then they will automatically be logged in to all of your blog admin panel. In this case, you may prefer simply to log in at each visit.

What happens if I do not check the Remember Me box?
If you do not check the box, we won’t put a cookie on your PC. However, the next time you visit you will need to enter your login name and password again.

OpenID eliminates the need for multiple usernames across different websites, simplifying your online experience.

You get to choose the OpenID Provider that best meets your needs and most importantly that you trust. At the same time, your OpenID can stay with you, no matter which Provider you move to. And best of all, the OpenID technology is not proprietary and is completely free.

How do I get an OpenID?

Surprise! You already have one. if you have a blog with Blogates.com. Your OpenID is the URL of your blog, for example: http://patrick.bloggles.info/

You can use your OpenID on any one of a growing number of sites (nearly ten-thousand) which support OpenID. If one of your favorite sites doesn’t support OpenID yet, ask them when they will!

Here are some places you can visit to see where you can use your OpenID to log in today:
