# Disabling "Remember Me"

 * I love this handy plugin!! I need to disable the “Remember me” checkbox for security.
   Can anyone suggest how to do this with Sidebar Login?
 * I tried adding CSS .login-remember {display: none;}, which works to hide the 
   checkbox, but the plugin behaves as if “Remember me” was checked, and the user’s
   logged in status is remembered across browser sessions.

 * I have the same situation. I would like to either:
 * 1. Completely remove the ‘Remember Me’ checkbox and text, or
 * 2. Have the ‘Remember Me’ checkbox default to unchecked.
 * How do I do that?

 * I resolved this by editing the proper CSS file (I don’t remember which one) to
   set ‘remember me’ = ‘false’.

 * In the file
    \wp-content\plugins\sidebar-login\includes\class-sidebar-login-widget.
   php
 * line 294 (or thereabouts)
    ‘remember’ => true, controls visibility of Remember
   Me check-box line 295(or near) ‘value_remember’ => true controls default value
   of box **if it is visible** So ‘remember’ => true, ‘value_remember’ => false 
   will show the check box with un-ticked default and ‘remember’ => false, will 
   not show the check-box and will not remember whatever ‘value_remember’ is set
   at, but it is neater to set ‘value_remember’ => false in this case!
