Have to keep logging in to LP

[noluuk]

As of 5pm est 6/14/12 I have to put my PW in for both of my accounts no matter if the box is checked. very annoying. Bad enough the forums have to be PW'd every time you show up..now its the game???

[Papa]

I am seeing exactly the same issue, and it was fine earlier today....

What is going on SOE?

[Lempo]

They have implemented the same rock hard security standard for the launcher as the forums. It is for your protection.

[Finora]

I'm having the same issue and just like the others I was fine earlier & this evening about 5pm eastern launchpad will no longer remember the passwords for any of my accounts.

[Zabjade]

Also reporting the same issue, whether the box is checked or unchecked it does not seem to matter.

Re-logging in each time is actually Bad security Lempo(unless you are being sarcastic then lol) , never know when some add on some page will try to slip in a key-logger.

[Kinvore]

I'm also getting this issue, very annoying not to metion it's a security hazard.  The more often you have to actually type in your password the more vulnerable you can be to hacking.  Please fix this asap.

[Dekedar]

Experiencing the same problem all day, LP will not remember my login info and I have to type my info with every launch.

Yes I forgot to include the /sarcasm

[Maroger]

Same issue here.

Plese FIX>

[Groscious]

Same issue here.  Very annoying. 

[isest]

Reporting same issue have to keep loggin into launchpad on both computers and on the laptop.  Obvously something changed with yesterdays update.

[Lamatu]

How about a official response of how this improves security?

[Mysstie]

Well, if LaunchPad is using the same awesome(whatever) browser framework, then it's probably related to not being able to stay logged into websites either using the In-Game Browser now. Like it's not saving cookie information anywhere. In a way it improves security as it prevents someone/something getting on your computer and getting into your account/game without even being prompted for a username/password. It doesn't have to log anything you type to get in because it already has the permission to do so (if they/it uses your PC to perform whatever action it does). I start EverQuest2.exe manually which asks for the username/password everytime anyway. I'm just not clear on which behavior LaunchPad is supposed to exhibit now. The fact that a "Remember Me" check-box is there implies that it should be able to and it's not now.

[Valentina]

Same issue here. Even more annoying than having to constantly log in to the forums.

[Cyliena]

Same issue here for both me and my husband on two seperate computers. My kids didn't play today but I'm assuming it'll be the same for them. It's very annoying, please change it back.

On top of it all, whenever I change between US English and Public Test versions, it makes me completely re-do station handle and password. =

[isest]

Any chance of getting an official response to why we have to keep re-entering our account/passwordon the launcher started early this morning.

[Katz]

It also has some random account name when you first launch.   Something got broken. 

[Kinvore]

Maybe they got hacked again.

[WanyenII]

Version: US English

The change account drop down list control is using the German string 'Konto wechseln' instead of the expected English string.  Validating game assets at the moment...

Also, the settings/detail button that uses a hammer and wrench icon, the autoplay radio control, and the control array or link bar whatever you prefer to call it at the bottom that includes 'Be in the Know!' | My Account ... all display English labels, but the tooltips are the German version.

[Shonshazzitt]

Yes same issue with the no saving login info on my puter as well.

[Jethal]

At the very least, i'm glad it's not just me.. but on the same hand.. it's not just me.. and that's a problem - more of a minor annoyance, but still

[Piestro]

We're aware of the issue with LP4 not remembering passwords, and this is something we are actively working on. No resolution on the immediate horizon, but I'll forward on the feedback.

Thanks,

Thanks,

i got thismessage from a ticket

so the question i have is why the change

Thank you for contacting Sony Online Entertainment. The new update of our launchpad has removed the feature that saved user's names and passwords. We are constantly working to test new products in our Launchpad and will periodically remove and add items as we evolve our it. We encourage customers to check in regularly to see what's new as we will be implementing more and more changes and tests moving forward.

[Snowdonia]

Now the "remember password" radio is gone altogether but it remembers my UN...

Let me put it this way SOE, since you made this unreasoning change to the forums, I log in and post maybe once a month? Since you made this change to the LP, my playtime has already dropped. It's a F2P game, so how long do you think it will take before I get to the point I no longer see any reason to support the game monetarily, as I do now, because I have no desire to participate in this FORCED action of logging in?

Change it back, change it back now. Seriously. The forum change was stupid enough, making this change to the LP borders on idiocy. We didn't ask for it, we didn't require it. Find some other way to deal with YOUR security issues because compromising our personal security to deal with your problems is no answer at all.

Ok so I just tried logging in after dinner at 8:00 pm est and now..I no longer have my ID stored it says [object object] and in the PW box is a bunch of dots letting me know a PW is there but I didnt put it there. This is on both of my accounts and on two different computers. Kudos SOE not only did you not fix it you broke it even worse.  And I just tried to log in only to find Im force to that frikkin streaming crap I hate so bad. Really

[Cininz]

Same condition for me has noluuk explained above.  "[object Object]" as my Station Name. 

So, the entire 'remember me' feature is useless.

[TSR-AlexS]

Hello My friends! The launchpad should be fixed. Thank you again for your patience and understanding on the issue!

[Taevin]

The launcher still won't remember my login/password after today's patch.

If it is intentional to no longer retain the password, please put the station name and password fields on the main screen instead of making us click through to find it.

[noluuk]

Sorry Alex but back to your drawing board..issue not resolved.

[Cininz]

No joy here.  I'm still having the same problem; launcher remembers me with a buggy staion name of '[object Object]'.

I also tried deleting my 'remembered login' and then re-remembered the login - but that didn't help either...
