As a user, I want the dashboard to remember me, so that I do not need to login every time

This requires an authentication database to be created. MongoDB provides one that allows roles and encrypts passwords. Unfortunately, session states are not included in MongoDBs Atlas authentication. This means its not possible to persist a user because we cannot access the database in separate sessions without storing the password in a cookie
