Question: I've creating a working user/login system with the laravel 4 framework and all is working well.

However I'm always logged into the site unless I run the logout process.
I would assume that if I login, close all browser windows and open the browser again I would be logged out. This is not the case.

In my Auth::attempt I am setting the $remember parameter to false even though it is false by default.

I have no idea why this is happening. If I logout, close all my browser windows then open them again I am NOT logged in. So this works fine. But if I'm logged in, close all my browsers then open the browser again I am already logged in. Even thought I have specified remember to be false.

What is keeping me logged in? Why does it always remember my login? I cannot find any information on this.

Answer: 
Change

`'expire_on_close' => false,`

to

`'expire_on_close' => true,`

in `/app/config/session.php`.

Laravel isn't actually remembering you (you're not being authenticated again by your `remember_token`), problem is that you session cookie persists on browser close (since it hasn't expired) and Laravel sees you as a logged in user.
What version you're on?

If below 4.1.26 than your answer is:
