Cakephp 3.x remember me Login functionality

Question

I'm developing my website in cakephp 3.x. In that I want remember me functionality for login the user.

I have done lots of seraching(R&D) on google but I can't found anything helpful for me. I have tried to apply CakePHP remember me with Auth

But it doesnot helped me.

I have username as email & password as password field in my database.

If anyone has any idea then please share it with me.

My login function :

    $user = $this->Auth->identify();
    if ($user) {
        $this->Auth->setUser($user);


        if ($this->request->data['rememberMe'] == "on") {

            $cookie = array();
            $cookie['username'] = $this->request->data['email'];
            $cookie['password'] = $this->request->data['password'];
            $this->Cookie->write('rememberMe', $cookie, true, "1 week");
            unset($this->request->data['rememberMe']);
        }

        if (empty($this->data)) {
            $cookie = $this->Cookie->read('rememberMe');
            if (!is_null($cookie)) {
                $user = $this->Auth->identify();
                if ($user) {
                    $this->redirect($this->Auth->redirectUrl());
                } else {
                    $this->Cookie->destroy('rememberMe'); # delete invalid cookie

                    $this->Session->setFlash('Invalid cookie');
                    $this->redirect('login');
                }
            }
        }


        return $this->redirect($this->Auth->redirectUrl());
    }
    $this->Flash->set('Invalid username or password, try again', ['element' => 'error']);
}

From your search, have you tried anything? If so, what didn't work? You should edit your question and add more information. Thanks! — Luís Cruz, Apr 20 '15 at 13:11

The easiest way of coding a remember-me cookie is using this Authenticate adapter from this plugin:

Storing a username and password for session cookies in insecure. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/244882/what-is-the-best-way-to-implement-remember-me-for-a-website An alternative is https://github.com/Beskhue/CookieTokenAuth – Thomas Apr 13 '16 at 01:20

After

if (!is_null($cookie)) {

Add

$this->request->data = $cookie;

That should work.

The Auth component is using $this->request->data to do the authentication. Once you add the cookie data identify() should work. I'm using similar code on my site with no issues.

This worked but it also needs to add after `if ($user) {` add `$this->Auth->setUser($user);` again. – Zordon Jun 08 '15 at 14:07
