                <script src="/CatalystScripts/ValidationFunctions.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
            </form>

Can you please provide more detail as far as what "not working for me" refers to? What is the behaviour you're expecting and what is the behaviour your are experiencing? — Luke, Aug 08 '15 at 22:11

The form code for "Remember Me" in Business Catalyst is:

<input type="checkbox" id="RememberMe" name="RememberMe" />
<label for="RememberMe">Remember Me</label>

Your code looks correct. It could be a browser issue. I have had the same issue and it was my browser settings not the code. The same code on my site works without issue.

This setting is reflected in the `VSV████` cookie; if `RememberMe` is set, its expiry timestamp is now + 1 year, otherwise it's now + 1 hour. – Robert K. Bell Jan 19 '15 at 23:05

Try adding value="on":

<div class="item">
    <input type="checkbox" name="RememberMe" value="on" id="RememberMe" />
    <label for="RememberMe">Remember Me</label>
</div>

Just reading through the answers and comments, I think perhaps the issue is around your expectation/understanding of what the Remember Me checkbox does.

The purpose of the Remember Me checkbox is to keep the user logged in. It sets a persistent cookie in the user's browser (browsers settings allowing) so that the next time the user visits the site (having closed their browser and/or restarted their device in the meantime) they are already logged in and have access to the secure content. The isn't a heck of a lot of info about it, but I did find this.

The "Remember Me" checkbox doesn't pre-populate the Username and Password fields. If you're logging out, I think that's your problem right there. You're effectively cancelling out the Remember Me functionality by doing so.

If you're wanting pre-poulation/auto-complete functionality, make sure that you've set the autocomplete="on" on the fields in question. (Documentation here)
