Does “remember me” matter anymore?
On my personal site I asked if "remember me" (the little check box during a login that keeps you logged in) was needed anymore and the answer that came out of that discussion was "it depends on the user".
A few years ago it was a big deal to have a cookie saved onto your computer, ok - so it was more than a few years ago now. Some thought this was an invasion of privacy while others thought it was great.
Nowadays though many people have gotten over their fear of cookies and so most people have no problem using the "remember me" features we see everywhere. Only those that work in cafe's, public computers in library's, etc. really have any concern about remaining logged in.
Since I thought there was a pretty diverse community here on my.9r I thought I'd ask the question here to see what people thought. Is "remember me" still needed when really all the person as to do is click "log out" or use a browser (like Safari) that can block any cookies during a Kiosk type use? Or will we always have to have this feature?
Thanks in advance.
