remember user email on subsequent logins

This could be a community task, a "remember me" checkbox for email (probably just using local storage since everything is setup for it already)
@Angamanga I think this might be a good first issue (assuming technical knowledge) , checking with you in case you disagree :)
@Erioldoesdesign cc in case you have ideas on UI for this

[Erioldoesdesign]

Hmm Re. UI i would suggest something like:

So also including the ability to remember password too!

But! tricky thing would be making sure it doesn't interfere with google save passwords/lastpass etc.

[Erioldoesdesign]

Also better spacing than my hacky inspect CSS please!

[rowasc]

uh. I kind of prefer not to remember their password in the client to be honest for security reasons. Their browser will be the one suggesting this already and it gives more control in the form of their browser choice and security choices (ie if they use last pass, one pass, etc)

[Erioldoesdesign]

Very happy to be over-ruled on that aspect. No 'remember password' in this solution (if a community member takes this task) 💯

Hello I am an Outreachy internship Applicant and I want to work on this issue.
Can someone explain me in which files I have to work for this issue. Thanks

And what I understand is that the email id have to be stored in the cookie so that the next time user wants to log in the browser remembers the email id. Am I right?

@AishaSaman Yes please go ahead! The files for the login-box is found in this folder: https://github.com/ushahidi/platform-client/tree/develop/app/common/auth

You can see an example on how we are using local storage here:

@Angamanga I can't solve this for now, sorry. Please assign me any first-timer-issue. Thanks

[Angamanga]

@AishaSaman I don't think we have many first-timer issues left, but check here if you find something interesting: Community Task Issues that the Ushahidi OSS community is encouraged to contribute to .
