Remember Me not working for Login in DotNetNuke based website

The "Remember Me" feature of the DotNetNuke Login is implemented by placing an encrypted authentication cookie on the user's machine.

The expiration of this cookie is controlled through the timeout value in the Forms Autentication node the web.config.

< forms name=".DOTNETNUKE" protection="All" timeout="60" cookieless="UseCookies" />

The default setting is 60 minutes, so it can't remember anyone for very long (I call it goldfish mode).

To extend the time your users are remembered make the timeout value larger.
