title: Forms Authentication - Storing and Retrieving User Names
body: <p>Using Forms Authentication, I am storing a cookie for each user if they mark <em>Remember Me</em> during login, using the following piece of code in the Login1_LoggedIn event.</p>
  
  <pre><code>if (rememberMe.Checked) FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(Login1.UserName, true);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When the user arrives on my page with a cookie, I need to get his/her user name so I can check their roles.  Does the Forms Authentication cookie store this information, and how can I retrieve it?</p>
