"Remember Me" Not Working
Describe the bug
My team is working on a ReactJS single page app. The "Remember Me" checkbox in the signin widget does not appear to be working. Even after logging out, users are still forced to enter their username again. We have the Remember user on sign in and Show option for "Keep me signed in" options enabled for the Okta application. Can I get some guidance on what might still prevent this feature from working?
Reproduction Steps?
In the application, enter the user's username and password into the signin widget, and check the "remember me" checkbox. Finish signing in with 2FA Log out and view the signin page again
SDK Versions

Are you referring to features.rememberMe (saves username to cookie with key ln) or checkbox Keep me signed in?
How "Keep me signed in" works
I was referring to the "remember me" checkbox on the login screen. It doesn't appear to do anything, and users are forced to re-enter their usernames. This isn't earth-shattering, but we'd like to get this working, as some customers have noticed and reported it broken.
In reference to features.rememberMe that you mentioned - does that need to be added to the config we pass to the Okta signin widget?
I assume you don't use OIE, you use widget v1.
