For example, if your computer automatically clears your cookies and cache every night, or if you have cookies disabled, then the ‘remember me’ check box will not remember your information, which then requires you to enter your account number, username, and password every time you want to login.

Update: This method is now outdated. Now, in LiveEngage, when you create a new survey with no questions, it will automatically remove the Submit button from the survey.
