I want to modify my 6.5 B2B store so that a cookie remains past the browser closing. Want for return customers to not need to login again if they return within a month. Ideally, looking for something like the oscommerce auto login contribution, taht even adds a "Remember Me" box to the login page.

I would be grateful for any help offered, and would also be interested in paying someone to do this.

If all it's for is logging in, couldn't customers simply use their browser's password manager to store login details in the browser indefinitely? Also there are popular auto form password managers that do this too.

No, it's not just for logging in. I run a subscription news site where subscribers access different parts of the site on a daily/weekly basis. I have an existing password method, but I want to use the store login to give access not just to the store, but their subscribed info. This will also let me give discounts to subscribers by adding them to a specific customer group.

I have looked at the create password code, and think I can convert my existing users logins to the store method. The problem is I don't want them to need to login every time they return. I need the session to last past the closing of the browser. I've seen this same question raised by others, but can't seem to find much concrete information. As I said, I'm willing to pay someone.

Is this just much harder that it appears at first glance?

No, it's so that when people return to the store, they no longer have to login every time. I have subscribed services that people access daily or weekly. Don't want them to login each time they return.
