Even then you probably did not need to login ... userid and password are both stored separately in a cookie.
That is what you activate when you mark 'keep me logged in'. That makes it browser dependent not server dependent.

These are the potential reasons why you are not automatically logged in:

- cookies are disabled in your browser
- cookies were deleted when cleaning browser data
- cookies were expired (when I look at the data inside they are valid for one year)
- like you browser missed parts of traffic and keeps loading ... the server missed parts of traffic and was not able to read your cookie
