How can I test a “Remember Me” checkbox feature in Selenium

Question

I\'m trying to test the \"Remember Me\" functionality of a login form. I\'m able to type in the user name and password, click the checkbox, click submit, and quit() or close

For Chrome (config):

You have to set the path to user-dir which will save all the login info after you login for the first time. The next time you login again, login info from the user-dir will be taken.

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "res/chromedriver.exe");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("test-type");
options.addArguments("start-maximized");
options.addArguments("user-data-dir=D:/temp/");
capabilities.setCapability("chrome.binary","res/chromedriver.exe");
capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY,options);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);

Login for the first time:

driver.get("https://gmail.com");
//Your login script typing username password, check 'keep me signed in' and so on

Close the driver (do NOT quit):

driver.close();

Re-initialize the driver and navigate to the site. You should not be asked for username and password again:

driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);
driver.get("http://gmail.com");

The above can be implemented for firefox using a firefox profile.
