Remember Me

[janani13]

Hi all, Im using a login control in my application.In that the Remember me check box is not working fine.when i close the app. and open in a new tab the session maintains. But when i close the browser and open in a new browser i cant able to open the application.Solve my problem please. code behind:

void Login1_LoggingIn(object sender, LoginCancelEventArgs e)
{
string username = Login1.UserName.Trim();
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(username))
{
MembershipUser user = Membership.GetUser(username);
if (user != null)
{
// Only adjust the UserName if the password is correct. This is more secure
// so a hacker can't find valid usernames if we adjust the case of mis-cased
// usernames with incorrect passwords.

            if (Membership.ValidateUser(user.UserName, Login1.Password))
            {
                Login1.UserName = user.UserName;
                CheckBox Remember = (CheckBox)Login1.FindControl("RememberMe");

                if (Remember.Checked == true)
                {
                    Response.Cookies\["UserName"\].Value = Login1.UserName;
                    Response.Cookies\["UserName"\].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(7);
                    Response.Cookies\["Password"\].Value = Login1.Password;
                    Response.Cookies\["Password"\].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(7);
                }
                else
                {
                    Response.Cookies\["UserName"\].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-7);
                    Response.Cookies\["Password"\].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-7);
                }

......

Web config:

<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms timeout="30" protection="All"
slidingExpiration="true" loginUrl="http://localhost/OliveTreeNetwork/login.aspx" cookieless="UseCookies"/>
</authentication>

For version 2.0 the ASP.NET team changed the timeout for persistent cookies to use the <forms timeout=""/> attribute. So the life of the persistent cookie then matches the lifetime of session based cookies. In your example, the cookie will last 30 minutes.
