Security cookie options

When you allow the user to have a "remember me" option in the login form, a secure cookie is stored in their browser to help identify the user later on again. With the Security Cookie Options you can choose how long should the cookie stay valid and when it exactly applies.

Add domain

Enter optional domain name to bind the cookie to. If it's not specified then the current domain will be used.

Specify the cookie path
