Saving Multiple Account Passwords

[DARKstrider.9245]

Hi Anet,

Support for storing credentials for multiple accounts was recently removed. Is there an alternative or new method to save account login credentials for switching between them?

I am currently playing on 9 accounts, and it's quite painful to retype the login credentials each time I wish to switch. I used to happily switch between accounts using the -email -password -nopatchui args, or falling back to duplication of the Local.dat files per account, but that is no longer an option.

Yes. There are two programs:

• Launch Buddy
• GW2 Launcher

Both are, of course, use at your own risk.

Both programs do things that you can program on your own using Windows scripting. The developer of GW2 Launcher has done so several times and those instructions can be found easily via an internet search.

You can still use multiple Local.dat files, which is where the email and password is stored. If that's all you want, here's the simple script:https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/comment/808072/#Comment_808072

Oddly, when i Log into the second account, the backup of the first Local.dat stops working. Might be a MacOS issue?

with a single account I can create the Local.dat backup, and delete and recover as many times as I like, but once I create a new Local.dat file for a different account, the previously working copy fails to authenticate, citing an incorrect password. Without the -autologin option, I can see that the username and password is correctly populated, but fails to authenticate.

Btw, thanks for the quick responses!
