On my iPhone Facebook app I think I’ve only logged into it once.
On my Mint financial app, I’ve logged in once. whenever I load it back up, I give a four digit PIN number which was setup in the app, and I never have to log in again.
I’m building an application right now where this type of behavior would be highly beneficial.
Do they just set an auth cookie of some sort and just set it to expire way into the future? Or is there another way of handling this?
Thanks!
You can use the iOS KeyChain to securely store credentials as well. This can be simplified by using this code found on github ( https://github.com/ldandersen/scifihifi-iphone/tree/master/security/ ) , with some basic instructions found at http://gorgando.com/blog/tag/sfhfkeychainutils
