### what is this

[](#what-is-this)

this is just a simple secure way to set cookies and revive expired sessions for as long as you want. it also allows you to view and control all logged in sessions of a user and where they are coming from.

### how it works

[](#how-it-works)

- sets a cookie of an encoded string of some data when the user logs in.
- stores stuff in the user model for better verification
- upon our normal session expiring, allows you to re-login the user

### features

[](#features)

- multiple browser/client support
    - monitor and control mutiple sessions
- multiple level verification
    - verify cookie expiration
    - verify browser agent (optional)
    - store/verify our hash at the DB level
- non-expensive DB lookup
    - store an indexable identifier to avoid an expensive user lookup

### examples

[](#examples)

Log a user in after, assuming $user is some sort of user model :

```
