use Auth::setExpire() and Auth::setIdle() to long time periods to allow
the login session to last as long as you like.

To get the login box to remember the username build your own custom
login page that pulls the last used login name from a cookie.

Thanks Adam,

This is what I did additionally to your suggestions (in case anybody else n=
eed=20
it):

Add a method to subclassed Auth_Container:

function _setAuthCookie($username, $password){
setcookie('username', $username, time()+60*60*24*30);
setcookie('password', $password, time()+60*60*24*30);
}

[...]

in fetchData: if access is granted,

if(isset($_REQUEST['remember_me'])){
$this->_setAuthCookie($username, $password);
}

Add a method to subclassed Auth:

function assignData() {
if($_COOKIE['username']) {
$this->post[$this->_postUsername] =3D $_COOKIE['username'];
}
if($_COOKIE['password']) {
$this->post[$this->_postPassword] =3D $_COOKIE['password'];
}
parent::assignData();
}
