What is the correct way to implement "Remember me" for multiple browsers/computers?

Question

PHP

The point is this. It would be desirable to remember the User on several computers. Now the cookies have a random string, the database has a string hash. Re-authorization generates a new string. Can anyone suggest "best practices"?

Answer 1

Organizing a session object will help you.
In this object, during authorization, you write down a link to the user, remember the authorization data, give the user a key (cookie)
If the user logged in from another computer, then he will have a second session.
You can store it in a database or, for example, in Redis
. Having such objects, you can assign a session lifetime, manage the maximum number of open sessions, and so on.
With each user request, you update the session, recording the date of the request and extending the lifetime of the session.
Here's a thought.
