Implement a 'remember me' feature by adding a checkbox to the login form. When checked, set a longer expiration time for the authentication token (e.g., JWT) or use a persistent session. Store the token securely in an httpOnly cookie. Update the backend to handle the extended expiry and refresh logic if needed.
