Remember me checkbox

I forget which update it was, but I think the cart stopped including the 'remember me' checkbox that remembers your address details, in favor of the 'create account' button, during the checkout process. I believe the rationale was something about that being more GDPR friendly. We found during testing that the cart still remembers your address details by default, even without the checkbox. Is that right? Wasn't the point of removing the checkbox to force the cart not to remember customer details? Or was there another reason for that?

I remembered this because I helped another user who enters orders for customers and wanted to stop that from remembering https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/support/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=112462 Thanks, David Edited by - dbdave on 12/16/2020 08:12:31

It's so the customer doesn't have to re-enter the checkout details if they go through checkout again.

Dermontti Advanced Member USA 165 Posts	Posted - 12/18/2020 : 06:42:31 We like that behavior of remembering too; we were just confused as to why the remember me checkbox was removed if the cart was going to keep remembering the details anyway. I had assumed the default behavior with no checkbox would be not remembering, guess we were wrong then!
