				i find it useful if i login on the laptop of someone else and dont want to be remembered :/

				The point is most browser handles that now. The website has zero control if you intend to save your password or not.

				emwat02y1) It's up to your browser settings. You can configure it to always ask to remember it.
 
 2) You could be signing in on a friend's computer.
 
 3) You could be using the Internet on a smart TV somewhere and don't want to mess with browser settings.

				@azuredivay that makes sense. I've been assuming it meant the user intends to autocomplete the form on next login when checked.

				It's cargo cult. Once upon a time browser-integrated password managers didn't exist and therefore couldn't autofill the fields of login dialogs on page load.
 
 New sites having this only do so because the devs saw older sites having it.
