texte = Hello,We are developing a Username Pass log in system to provide our customers with most notably there automatic shipping/Billing information but perhaps other things such as order history etc....a site I recently visited where I had ordered from in the past had an interesting feature. I went to place my order and it asked for my username/pass. I didn't remember it (as I'm sure many of our customers will not also) but being the person that I don't want our customers to be, I decided to create a new account instead of using the forget your password? link. Well, when I clicked on new user? it brought me to a set up page but (welcomed-in-my-eyes) most of my info was already filled out. I didn't have to fill out my shipping or billing info because it was already there.Now, I am assuming this is because of the use of cookies. I imagine that, at the first time I ordered, my information was not only stored in a customers.db but also a cookie was issued with that info just for this reason.?????I thought this would be a good feature because it says to our customers we don't hold you responsible for having to remember stuff (were here to help you anyway). :-) But also, on our end, I could set up a search rule that says: if the info in the Name, Shipping and Billing fields is the same as a record in the database then append this new username/pass to that record (deleting the previous username/pass). Otherwise, create a new record.I'd love to hear some of your approaches to this. Our store contains approx. 500-800 retail products. Thanks in advance! -- Donovan D.
