How does login remember Me feature work?

Yii 2.0 General Discussions

The “remember me” on my login page does not seem to work, and I’m trying to find out why:

I can login users and after login I can see a cookie set with _identity and some random string, which expires in a month. However, in the database the auth_key field is always NULL. I’m assuming this should be the same as the string in the cookie? Which line of code is responsible for writing this to the db? I looked through the tutorials and could not find anything that writes it to the db.

Thanks.

Yes, it’s on, here is my config:




'user' => [

            'identityClass' => 'app\models\User',

            'enableAutoLogin' => true,

        ],
