I have remember me checked but when I logout and go back to the login page it does not remember my login info.

This happens in both IE and Chrome.

It seems to work in FireFox

Here is my webconfig setting.

Is this a membership provider issue?

Thanks

It would just require clearing your cookies on the browser if you changed the machine key and couldn't log in -- it doesn't effect passwords.

It's simply the key used to encrypt the authentication cookie. That's it. It needs to be consistent to have authentication work across web farms or multiple sites.

I think the machine key is also used to encrypt the password, at least in DotNetNuke i use. After changing it, you can't login.

This can be affected by how your browser settings are handled. My browser, for instance, is setup to delete all cookies/cache at the close of the program. By deleting all cookies at close I cannot use the option to remember me. Make sure your browser is not deleting the cookie.

Not a problem, some times we over-analyze and miss things, glad I could help.
