Its really annoying that everytime I visit JIssue I have to login again. Is there no way we can have some sort of remember me option? Maybe there is something already just on a very short timeout?

Could we assume that a user actually wants to be "remembered" (GitHub also does not provide a "remember me not" option..)
This would be only to avoid to implement a checkbox and refactoring the code... and destroy the layout :P
As for the session.. I am not sure how to teach our session handler to use different life times, but maybe we can just use PHPs setcookie() method and the $__COOKIE array and put a boolean in it if the login button is clicked for the first time, since we don't have to store credentials, not even a user name.
I would agree that this would enhance the user experience - on the other hand it's just one click on a big green button

@brianteeman now that this is merged and deployed - could you please check if it meets your requirements?
Also, we are silently assuming that the user actually wants to be remembered - without any opt out (a checkbox) - do you think that this is OK?
Will do

Just an idea - make cookie time also configurable ;)
Visited the site this morning and didnt have to log back in - so all looks good to me - thank you

Since we don't have a conventional login form with a remember me option (and the only cookie that the site is generating right now is thru Symfony for the session ID), the only way I can think to do this is through an option in the profile edit view.
We aren't doing any custom configuration to the Session object, so it looks like the session itself is valid so long as the browser is open according to the documentation.
