The game client STILL doesn’t remember my password. Are they working on fixing this issue?

Have you tried not typing it in? Mine has had the greyed out the look since the update and I haven’t had to type a thing. Just press log in.

Meh, I find it WAY more frustrating that the forum login still always wants me to verify my account via email but the email doesnt arrive in time before the login gets a time out.

What up with this bullkitten. It took me 5 times earlier to actually log into the forums and get the verification e-mail in time.
I was thinking of creating a topic for this but whatever.

Same for me, you should try this mrauls.

You touched the shiny, didn’t you?

My game has remember account name and remember password toggled and starts up when I hit login. It’s just the auto login part that’s broken.

Yep, that’s what I’m getting.

Can’t just click it and get up to get a snack like I used to.

Yeah, Auto-login still wont do it’s job. I keep forgetting I have to hit the login button now and sit there sometimes for quite a while distracted by the tv or reading something on the internet, look back to gw2 and it’s still sitting there like it doesn’t know I want to PLAY IT.

That’s game log-in situation sis frustrating, and I’m sorry that happening. Have you guys reported this to CS via a ticket? I’m going to ask them tomorrow (it’s after hours now) if they’re aware of this, but in the meantime, it looks like you could try ignoring the grayed-out look and hitting log-in because it may have remembered the p/w despite how it appears.

As for the forum log-in, I feel that pain. I actually wrote the team to tell them I felt like I was in a endless circle — even when I bloomin’ authorized! — but it appears my problem was related to being an employee who was logging in from outside our office network. In your case, it seems very odd that you get an e-mail and have to rush to approve or it expires!

Can you guys time that for us? Like how long was it before the authentication authorization expired? One minute? Three minutes? Ten or more? I think I will talk to our web team (because I think this is a web thing) if you’re finding that you have to scramble to log into the forums. We want you here, not outside knocking on the door!

I have the same client issue. It does remember the password (although I didn’t realise that until reading this thread), it’s the auto-login that’s stopped working

The forum log-in expires in 20 seconds. It is not enough time, perhaps if the time extended to 1 minute wouldn’t cause so much trouble. I usually have to try 3 to 5 times to log in the forums because the session expires way before I receive the authorization email.

As for the game client, I noticed that if I click to login but don’t authentic it by email, letting it expire, the game client password which was marked to remember disappears.

The forum login works for me just fine as it always did: login expires every 24h or if I restart the browser. I’m using Firefox.

For the game login and not autostarting with saved credentials since the September feature update, I found a solution by using the -autologin command line argument for gw2.exe. See here:

I used to have the forum login issue when I didn’t have the authenticator, the attempted login would keep expiring before I actually got the email to verify that it was in fact me trying to log in, I would say anywhere between 20-40 seconds.
I don’t have this issue any more because of the authenticator though, as tedious it is to have to type in an additional code very time I want to log into the forum, it’s less of a hassle than the previously stated process.
