Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.The "remember me" box shows up when the log in page is displayed in a modal form using the modal forms module. However, it does not seem to be working. When the box is checked and the user attempts to log in after logging out the log in fields are empty and their credentials are not saved.

mshepherd CreditAttribution: mshepherd commentedPerhaps I missed something, but if the user logged out, as you suggest, the remember_me module will not and cannot remember their credentials. It only remembers that they are logged in, not what their username and password are - that would be down to the browser or a third party service.
I'm tempted to mark this as 'works as designed' but I'll test it with the module mentioned first.

mshepherd CreditAttribution: mshepherd commentedI believe this works as expected.
I installed the modal forms module and logged in to a site from a modal form with the remember me box ticked. Log on was successful. I closed down my browser, opened it again and my login had been remembered as expected.
Conversely, when I logged in using the same modal form but without the remember me tick box ticked, my session was forgotten when I closed and reopened my browser.
To the OP, this module will not remember a user once they have logged out.
