    public interface RememberMeAuthenticationToken
    extends AuthenticationToken
    An AuthenticationToken that indicates if the user wishes their identity to be remembered across sessions.

    Note however that when a new session is created for the corresponding user, that user's identity would be remembered, but they are NOT considered authenticated.
