We’ll teach you how to eliminate the ‘Remember Me’ option step by step in this post.

Why would you want to remove the ‘Remember Me’ option from your WordPress login screen?

When you or your website’s visitors tick the ‘Remember Me’ option on the WordPress login page, the information is stored in a browser cookie for two weeks.

That means the next time they visit your site, they’ll be able to immediately access the dashboard instead of having to return to the login page.

Although it speeds up login in,   it may pose a security concern for those using public computers or WiFi networks to access their WordPress admin area.

You and your users will have to log in every time the web browser is closed if you disable the ‘Remember me’ button. They may still keep their login and password in their browser’s storage or in a password management programme to avoid having to key it in every time.

Overall, this increases WordPress security and aids in the protection of your website from hackers.

Let’s get started on removing the ‘Remember Me’ option from your WordPress login page. Simply click on one of the fast links below to get to the technique you wish to employ.

Remove the option to ‘Remember Me’ from the WordPress login page by default.

From a custom WordPress login page, remove the ‘Remember Me’ option.

Method 1: Disable the Remember Me option on the WordPress Login Page Default

The Remember Me Controls plugin is the simplest method to remove the remember me option from the default WordPress page.

The first step is to install and activate the plugin. See our beginner’s guide to installing a WordPress plugin for additional information.

To adjust the plugin settings, go to Settings » Remember Me after it’s been activated.

Then, under the ‘Disable the “Remember Me” feature’ section, check the box and click the ‘Save Changes’ button.
