🌟 Overview

Laravel’s built-in authentication scaffolding usually handles “remember me” functionality out of the box. But when building custom login forms or handling authentication logic yourself, you need to implement “remember me” manually using Laravel’s Auth APIs.

In this repo, you’ll find:

• A custom login blade view with a “Remember Me” checkbox
• Controller logic that handles login attempts with the “remember” parameter
• Proper session & cookie handling
• Logout logic that clears the remember token
