Angular 2 Checkbox Two Way Data Binding

I´m fairly new to Angular2 and I have a little problem:

In my Login-Component-HTML, I have two checkboxes, which I want to bind in two way data-binding to the Login-Component-TypeScript.

This is the HTML:

    Save username

And this is the Component.ts:

import { Component, OnInit }    from '@angular/core';
import { Router }               from '@angular/router';
import { Variables }            from '../../services/variables';

@Component({
    selector: 'login',
    moduleId: module.id,
    templateUrl: 'login.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['login.component.css']
})

export class LoginComponent implements OnInit {

    private saveUsername: boolean = true;
    private autoLogin: boolean = true;
    constructor(private router: Router, private variables: Variables) { }

    ngOnInit() { 
        this.loginValid = false;
        // Get user name from local storage if you want to save

        if (window.localStorage.getItem("username") === null) {
           this.saveUsername = true;
           this.autoLogin = true;
           console.log(this.saveUsername, this.autoLogin);
        } else {
           console.log("init", window.localStorage.getItem("username"));
        }
    }

    login(username: string, password: string, saveUsername: boolean, autoLogin: boolean) {
        this.variables.setUsername(username);
        this.variables.setPassword(password);
        this.variables.setIsLoggedIn(true);
        console.log(saveUsername, autoLogin);
        //this.router.navigate(['dashboard']);
    }

If I click an checkbox, I get the correct value in the controller (component).

But if I change the value of for example saveUsername in the component, the checkbox didn't "get" the new value.

So I can´t manipulate the checkbox from the Component (like I want to do in the ngOnInit in the component.

Thanks for your help!

You can remove .selected from saveUsername in your checkbox input since saveUsername is a boolean. Instead of [(ngModel)] use [checked]="saveUsername" (change)="saveUsername = !saveUsername"

Edit: Correct Solution:

Update: Like @newman noticed when ngModel is used in a form it won't work. However, you should use [ngModelOptions] attribute like (tested in Angular 7):
