Automatic Login

When the customer creates an account or logs in, they are offered the option to be automatically logged in when they next return to the store. This is achieved by setting a cookie and creating a permanently logged in state.

If left like that, then the customer cannot logoff - or to be more accurate, they would think they've logged off, but would be automatically logged back in on their next visit which may just annoy them, so this mod also includes the option to log off if the customer wishes, even after asking to be auto logged in. This gives the customer the best of both worlds!

Automatic Login and the Logoff option are both configurable in admin.

Security - the password stored in the cookie is the same as that stored in the Zencart database which is already doubly encrypted with one way encryption by Zen Cart.
