LeewardGrand.9751 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Does anyone else's "Remember Password" feature not work on the GW2 Client?This is a very minor detail. Nothing in the game. But for the longest time now, even through re-installs of the game, when I start up GW2 and the client pops up, allowing me to put in my account name and account password, log-in, then start the game; the "Remember Password" box is ticked off but it never remembers my password. My account name is saved/remembered and it always shows up but, I've always got to type in my password despite the "Remember Password" box being checked off.Again, very minor issue, I was wondering if anyone else has experienced it?For the life of me I can't figure it out.

sitarskee.5738 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Never happened to me.When you tick the Remember Password box it won't appear as the password is typed in though and you can still log in and play - atleast that's how it is for me.

Leablo.2651 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 No, it works fine. You could try deleting your Local.dat to reset your config. Back it up first in case it doesn't help, so you can restore your settings.Are you using any symbols in your password that a text parser might confuse as code?

RoseofGilead.8907 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Strange. Mine works every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeewardGrand.9751 Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 That's so strange. Nothing special about the password. Just every time I start the client, the password is always blank and I've got to type it in to login. Even though I have Remember Password checked off.

LeewardGrand.9751 Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 Only ever had one account.*And yes, it just shows the six, grey stars. It's not actually blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 If it shows the six grey stars, then your password is saved. It would never show your actual password; that would not be safe.Have you ever tried just logging in, without typing your password? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeewardGrand.9751 Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 Case closed~~I have tried before, and it just didn't let me click the login button until I typed it in. I deleted the local.dat though and everything works okay now.Thanks for your help everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aecho.5491 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Same for me. It never remembers my password despite me fiddling with every conceivable combo of clicking checkboxes, unclicking and clicking again. Bully for those that get it to work, but it's a dead function for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
