Hi,
remember me cookie handling is back, very nicely done! 
Just a couple of feedbacks:
* if you know what remember me is, the checkbox is ok,
but what if you don't? Actually the text boxes are
not that self explaining, but we're so used to username
and password that this can be guessed.

What if we keep the logout part in the top area, and
provide just a login link to an actual login page
for everything else, like in the old UI?
That would give us all the real estate needed to
explanations and labels.
* once logged in, the logout icon is sitting outside
outside of the logout button?

I think we can probably do something clever like pre-fill the signin form elements with 'Username' and 'Password' and replace the checkbox with a toggle button saying 'stay signed in.' I do think we should have an actual login page though, just for the sake of redirecting people to a form instead of a error page. (Minimize the number of error messages that don't help you fix the problem.)

I'm aware of this, haven't bugged Chris about it. The Signout <button> has been replaced with an <a> so the CSS no longer applies.
Cheers

I still do prefer a separate form, having an error page instead of a
login form seems odd. But if you feel strongly against the form, np,
prefilling the fields with light gray text and having a toggle with docs
works as well.

So you're on it already, good good.
