“Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of Heaven, Blossom the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels.” Evangeline by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
You’re writing a Rails app. You want users to be able to sign in.
You decide to use Clearance.
How do you expect it to handle “remember me” out of the box?
Remember unchecked by default
Basecamp:
Gmail:
Remember me checked by default
Eventbrite:
No remember me, automatically sets a cookie
Github:
Tumblr:
What should an authentication framework prefer
Right now, Clearance comes with remember unchecked by default. I’m leaning towards changing it to checked by default.
What do you think?
