Ah yes, the size of the default remember me cookie can grow outrageously big because it uses Java serialization. That's long running issue against Shiro web (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHIRO-226). It's simply to override with your own implementation - you could use the one attached as a patch to the issue, then override the default CookieRememberMeManager with: public class LightCookieRememberMeManager extends CookieRememberMeManager { public LightCookieRememberMeManager() { super(); setSerializer(new SimplePrincipalSerializer()); } }
