Summary	0003696: Save login name in a cookie
Description	For our installation I use the 'Save login' feature on the login screen to also store the user name into a cookie. This cookie is used to fill the user name field when the user returns. It seems to me that this is common practise for a lot of systems, and therefore I would like to see this feature in Mantis also.

ndeboer 2006-04-26 06:36 reporter ~0012728	I think issue 3424 is about the 'Save Login' feature not working. As Frescard described in a note for issue 3424, I think as the 'Save Login' more as a 'Remember Username' feature. That is, after a logout and returning to the login page, it allready shows the user name. My perception is that most users mostly use it that way, or would like it to work.
