    I don't know if this is an ongoing issue or if it just happened since upgrading my website but after changing a password and checking "Remember Me" the site is not remembering the new password. Every time a user needs to log in after a password change they need to always enter the new password. The site seems to be entering the older password in the password box. So firstly you think the password is OK so you try login but then you get an error indicating you have entered the wrong password. The user then needs to understand this so they can fix it by entering the last password applied or they cant log on. It's messy and really annoying. I believe others have this issue but I cant find a fix.

      I never heard of a behaviour like this. Which DNN version?

      Please check the value for PersistentCookieTimeout in your web.config - this is the time in minutes to "remember" the password since the last login, e.g. 10080 for one week (=60 * 24 * 7). A value of 0 means that the password is not remembered.

      Next step: Before you change the password, find the (hashed or encrypted) password by using this query:

      SELECT u.UserName, m.[Password]
      FROM dbo.aspnet_Membership m INNER JOIN dbo.aspnet_Users u ON u.UserId = m.UserId
      WHERE u.UserName = '(YOUR_USERNAME_HERE)'

      Note the value for the password. Then try to change the password (log in as this user and use the "normal" interface) and run the query again. Has the value changed?

      If yes, I suspect you have some caching issue. Otherwise, the permissions for the database might not be set correctly.

      Happy DNNing!
