CakePHP remember me with Auth
In your user controller:
public function beforeFilter() {
$this->Auth->allow(array('login', 'register'));
parent::beforeFilter();
}
public function login() {
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
if ($this->Auth->login()) {
// did they select the remember me checkbox?
if ($this->request->data['User']['remember_me'] == 1) {
// remove "remember me checkbox"
unset($this->request->data['User']['remember_me']);
// hash the user's password
$this->request->data['User']['password'] = $this->Auth->password($this->request->data['User']['password']);
// write the cookie
$this->Cookie->write('remember_me_cookie', $this->request->data['User'], true, '2 weeks');
}
return $this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Username or password is incorrect.'));
}
}
$this->set(array(
'title_for_layout' => 'Login'
));
}
public function logout() {
// clear the cookie (if it exists) when logging out
$this->Cookie->delete('remember_me_cookie');
return $this->redirect($this->Auth->logout());
}
In the login view:
<h1>Login</h1>
<?php echo $this->Form->create('User'); ?>
<?php echo $this->Form->input('username'); ?>
<?php echo $this->Form->input('password'); ?>
<?php echo $this->Form->checkbox('remember_me'); ?> Remember Me
<?php echo $this->Form->end('Login'); ?>
In your AppController:
public $components = array(
'Session',
'Auth',
'Cookie'
);
public $uses = array('User');
public function beforeFilter() {
// set cookie options
$this->Cookie->key = 'qSI232qs*&sXOw!adre@34SAv!@*(XSL#$%)asGb$@11~_+!@#HKis~#^';
$this->Cookie->httpOnly = true;
if (!$this->Auth->loggedIn() && $this->Cookie->read('remember_me_cookie')) {
$cookie = $this->Cookie->read('remember_me_cookie');
$user = $this->User->find('first', array(
'conditions' => array(
'User.username' => $cookie['username'],
'User.password' => $cookie['password']
)
));
if ($user && !$this->Auth->login($user['User'])) {
$this->redirect('/users/logout'); // destroy session & cookie
}
}
}
See this URL i think it is very help full to you.

Or Try this
function login() {
if ($this->Auth->user()) {
if (!empty($this->data) && $this->data['User']['remember_me']) {
$cookie = array();
$cookie['username'] = $this->data['User']['username'];
$cookie['password'] = $this->data['User']['password'];
$this->Cookie->write('Auth.User', $cookie, true, COOKIE_EXPIRE);
unset($this->data['User']['remember_me']);
}
$this->LogDetail->Write('activity','has logged IN');
$this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());
}
if (empty($this->data)) {
$cookie = $this->Cookie->read('Auth.User');
if (!is_null($cookie)) {
if ($this->Auth->login($cookie)) {
$this->Session->destroy('Message.Auth'); # clear auth message, just in case we use it.
$this->LogDetail->Write('activity','has been authenticated via cookie and is now logged IN');
$this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());
} else {
$this->LogDetail->Write('activity','attempted to gain access with an invalid cookie');
$this->Cookie->destroy('Auth.User'); # delete invalid cookie
$this->Session->setFlash('Invalid cookie');
$this->redirect('login');
}
}
}
}
use CookeAuthenticate adapter:

Remember me is nothing else but session identified with a cookie, but cookie lifetime set to infinity. Look at Config/core.php for session cookie lifetime.
