I changed my password over a week ago to a longer and more secure one. The problem with this new password is that due to the length and complexity, I typo it frequently. Which would be no problem with the “remember password” feature in the launcher, right? Well, the launcher will only remember my old password. I can’t seem to figure out how to make it forget it.

I have tried:

  • Unchecking the “remember password” box, entering my password, then rechecking it, and launching the game
  • Unchecking the “remember password” box, entering my password, launching the game, quitting fully out of the game, starting up the launcher, entering the password and checking “remember password” and launching the game again
  • Entering my new password over the saved old one with the box still checked
  • Deleting the local.dat file (interestingly, the username/email and password fields were both blank the next time I started the launcher, but the next time I ran the launcher afterward, it had my old password again)

How do I get it to forget my old password/remember my new one? This is very frustrating, and I’m on the verge of giving up and doing a full reinstall. Though after all this, I’m paranoid that even that won’t fix and I’ll go through all the trouble for nothing.
