add remeber me to Symfony 4.2 Security with custom User Entity - symfony

Question

I'm working with Symfony 4.2,
I'm working with Security Component and I'm trying to add remember me.
At first Remember Me worked for me, but when my User Entity Became Customized, the remember me doesn't work anymore,
My Custom User:
I'm connected to a wordpress DB that I can't do any change on it ( I must Read Only ),
And I need to add some field to the User, So I have to create a new table User OneToOne with WpUsers (wordpress Users),
So, I use doctrine to create entity from the existing DB, I didn't touch to those entities, I just create my User Entity just to add roles field to the User System:
Wordpress pass is hashed with phpass.
Entity\WpUsers (generated by doctrine):
/**
* WpUsers
*
* #ORM\Table(name="wp_users", indexes={#ORM\Index(name="user_nicename", columns={"user_nicename"}), #ORM\Index(name="user_login_key", columns={"user_login"}), #ORM\Index(name="user_email", columns={"user_email"})})
* #ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="App\Repository\WpUsersRepository")
*/
class WpUsers
{
/**
* #var int
*
* #ORM\Column(name="ID", type="bigint", nullable=false, options={"unsigned"=true})

private $id;

Answer 1

I believe what you are missing is a supportsRememberMe() Guard Authenticator method. As you can read in the documentation:
supportsRememberMe()
If you want to support "remember me" functionality, return true from this method. You will still
need to activate remember_me under your firewall for it to work...
So the solution should be adding above mentioned method to your authenticator:
public function supportsRememberMe()
{
return true;
}

Answer 2

The Answer is that I have to implement a custom User Provider because my loading User Process is not related to direct Entity.
bin/console make:user
And choose that the user shouldn't be saved in the DB, So that the CLI will create for you the UserProvider.
