If you have an open `PDO` connection already, just re-use it.
If you do enforce HTTPS on your site, pass `true` as the second parameter to the constructor. This is optional and the default is `false`.
Only in the very rare case that you need access to your cookies from JavaScript, pass `true` as the third argument to the constructor. This is optional and the default is `false`. There is almost always a *better* solution than enabling this, however.
If your web server is behind a proxy server and `$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']` only contains the proxy's IP address, you must pass the user's real IP address to the constructor in the fourth argument. The default is `null`.

The third parameter controls whether the login is persistent with a long-lived cookie. This is known as the "remember me" feature. Set this to `false` to disable the feature. Otherwise, ask the user if they want to enable "remember me". This is usually done with a checkbox in your user interface. Then use their input to decide between `false` and `true` here. This is optional and the default is `false`.
### Perform email verification
Extract the selector and token from the URL that the user clicked on in the verification email.
