💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Setting expiration too short or too long.

Using incorrect cookie names like remember_token (that's the DB field).

The 'expire' time is usually set to 43200 minutes (30 days), and the cookie name is remember_web by default.

Fill all three blanks to complete the login controller method that handles 'remember me' correctly.

Laravel

public function login(Request $request) {
    $credentials = $request->only('email', 'password');
    $remember = $request->has('[1]');
    if (Auth::attempt($credentials, [2])) {
        return redirect()->intended('[3]');
    }
    return back()->withErrors(['email' => 'Invalid credentials']);
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using wrong checkbox name.

Passing a string or literal instead of the $remember variable to Auth::attempt.

Redirecting to wrong URL.

The checkbox name is remember, which is checked with has('remember'). The second argument to Auth::attempt is the boolean $remember. After login, redirect to /dashboard.
