Login "Remember Me" does not seem to work

    I don't understand this.

    The Login page continually times out after only a few minutes and the login page does not correctly restore my password.
    For example it shows 8 stars In the password box:

    ********

    but as soon as I click Login, three stars vanish and it looks like this:

    *****

    Then I get a bad password error.

    I must MANUALLY retype my password and I have to login every 5 minutes.

    Is there a way to force MyDBR to actually REMEMBER me?
    Does anyone know why the stored password (on Chrome) changes when you click login?

    The 'Remember Me' affects only the login name, it will not store your password. The browser handles the password based on the username.

    When you use insecure connection (HTTP), myDBR for now uses hashed passwords when doing a login. This means that the browser will usually not save the password. When you use secure connection (HTTPS), myDBR sends the password using SSL encrypted connection and browser is able to store the password.

    You can also set myDBR to use salted passwords (passwords stored inside myDBR are stored as salted hash. If you enable this feature, all password handling is the same regardless if you use HTTP or HTTPS and browser is able to save the password. We're planning on setting this as a default behavior in future releases.

    To fix your 8-character / 3-character password, clear the Chrome stored password.

    The timeout parameter is defined in Environment settings-> Authentication / security -> Session lifetime. This parameter is tied into yourt PHP's gc_maxlifetime-directive. If your session times out too fast, increase the 'Session lifetime' parameter.
