The rememberMe
option wash changed in version 3 to better reflect security concerns and the more widespread use of password managers.
The current usage is outlined below.
In actuality "remember me" can mean different things to different people. In the vue-auth plugin it is used as way to store some basic data about a user for when they return to login.
For instance, we may want to store a name for some kind of "Welcome back, Rob" message.
By default the remember data will be stored until the app clears it using $auth.unremember()
or when setting remember
to null
or false
during login.
The staySignedIn
option on login tells the vue-auth plugin how long to store the authentication token for. In this case setting it to true
will store it for future use. Setting it to false
will clear the token after the browser closes.
When setting the value to
false
the token will still remain on browser refresh.
