Keep Me Logged In

Overview

From version 3.78+, BPD websites can be configured with 'Keep Me Logged In' functionality. This allows users the option to remain logged in, overriding the usual session timeout period.  A user who ticks this option won't need to log back in with their credentials next time they visit the site, unless they've exceeded the maximum period determined by you.

A user who ticks this option won't need to log back in with their credentials next time they visit the site, unless they've exceeded the maximum period determined by you.  Enabling this function is quick and easy, and is detailed below.
