What needs to be fixed
On the login forms, there is a checkbox to "Remember Me", but thinking about it, for those non-tecky people, this doesn't mean much.
- Does it remember me based on IP?
- Does it remember is on this device?
- How long does it remember me for?
How would you fix it
Elaborate on how it remembers the user and how long for.

@brianteeman It's a hard one, cause the last thing you want to do is clutter the admin module, and I don't know what the rules are on popovers in J4 in regards to a11y and preferences.
I believe Amazon have a "click for more details" link which opens a small modal, showing details about the "remember me" feature. So this could be a potential solution.
I would like to work on it
As a background: It will remember you on that specific browser. So it is not device and not IP based.
The duration in days is set in the "Authentication - Cookie" plugin. It's a maximum duration, in practice it may be invalidated before that time (eg due to browser updates).
