🎯 Changes

I have corrected the documentation in the ‘Authentication’ section, under the ‘Remember Me’ subsection. The current documentation contains an invalid implementation example; session.update() takes only one argument and cannot change the maxAge of the session or cookie. I therefore suggest the solution I used in my own application: this involves setting cookie.maxAge within the useSession stage via the optional rememberMe argument.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The authentication guide updates the Remember Me example. useAppSession accepts an optional rememberMe value and sets the cookie lifetime to 30 days or 4 hours. The login handler passes this value when creating the session.

useAppSession sets cookie.maxAge based on rememberMe. The login handler passes data.rememberMe and no longer sets maxAge during the session update.

The copied example cannot enable Remember Me until the form submits that option; this is a minor documentation issue with a straightforward fix.
