It's a secure as you make it.. This is how a lot of site work. If you are on Twitter, log in choose remember, close your browser come back and you will still be logged in. clear your cookies and refresh, you will be logged out. It's what you hash against is what makes it secure... Using a random generated hash is never going to be secure. You will need to use some client information to ensure that the next time the user comes back it's the same browser. So you could use the user's user agent as part of your algorithm. I don't know of any blogs on showing this, but a quick Google and I am sure you could find a handful of resources showing you the numerous was to tackle this..

Do you know of any existing blogs/how-to's that show how to set that up? I can figure it out, just curious if there's something in detail that I could read.

I want the default session to be 1 hour, but I'd like users to be able to 'stay logged in' if they choose too. My thought was going to be to simply adjust the session time when they login.
