Description
The Remember Me Checked marks the “Remember Me” checkbox on the login screen as selected by default, extending the duration of the WordPress session cookie from the default 2 days to around 14 days. It’s aimed at frequent site administrators using the same device and wanting to avoid constant re-logins without having to manually check the option every time.
