I can change my actual password on the site, and immediately enter it for GW & GW2. However, on the GW2 login screen, it will not save my new password.

This was always a bit buggy, and the workaround in the past had been (at least for me), to do the following steps:
1. Uncheck the box to save the password, then manually type the new password and login.
2. Logout and shut off GW2.
3. Reload GW2, check the box to remember the password, retype the new password, and login, again.
A little obnoxious, but it used to work.

Now, I’ve repeated the above steps and with variations, and it refuses to let go of the old password. The irritating part is I thought I’d go really secure this time and make my new password fairly long. =(

Anyway, just FYI. The login save has gotten buggier for at least one of us than it used to be.

Is this still a bug? Yes!
However, Just FYI for others having the same problem. If you don’t mind losing all of your settings… Go to your documents folder, and select the “Guild Wars 2” folder. Delete the roughly 50 mb file in there titled “Local. dat” (or if you are nervous about deleting a file, as I was, then move copy it somewhere else before deleting). Removing this file will delete all of your login information including your password. I read somewhere that it deletes preferences, but didn’t notice anything other than sound settings weren’t what I thought I had them at (key bindings, and important stuff is still there).
