I agree entirely. I've never worked on a user login thingy before so
just wondered if I'd missed anything.
The user id is stored in a cookie and the email, pass, etc is stored in
a db. The only trouble now is what if 2 users share the same computer?
Should I provide a 'login as different user'? That seems to invite
abuse.
The alternative is to not bother as the likehood of 2 people sharing a
computer both wanting accounts on my site is minimal: It's good, but not
/that/ good!
Any opinions on this most welcome ;-)
