Guild Wars 2

Since the LS 15th patch. whenever I start the launcher it always ask for a password even though ‘Remember Password’ is selected. No matter what way I try and force it to remember it doesn’t. My password is long and I don’t want to constantly type or copy/paste my password every time I want to play.

Uncheck ‘remember password’. Close launcher. Open launcher. Enter password. Check ‘remember password’. Play the game. Close the game. Run the launcher and see if it remembers your password.

Doesn’t save.

Still won’t remember.

Uncheck ‘remember password’. Close launcher. Open launcher. Enter password. Check ‘remember password’. Play the game. Close the game. Run the launcher and see if it remembers your password.

Try:

1. Run Launcher
2. Input Credentials
3. UNCHECK both Remember boxes
4. Play game (connect successfully and load up a zone).
5. Quit to Desktop
6. Restart Lancher
7. Input Credentials
8. Check both boxes
9. Log into a Zone.
10. Quit to Desktop.

Check if Launcher remembers your credentials.

If not, you might need to remove the settings ini file (don’t remember the details of where it is) and/or start the launcher with Administrator privileges (right click on GW2 icon and select Run as….).

BTW, how many characters is your password? I seem to recall some issue with uber-long ones.

this “C:\Users\{USER NAME}\AppData\Roaming\Guild Wars 2\Local.dat”

You can try this:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Command_line_arguments

-password [string]

Enables auto-log-in with the specified passsword and either (A) is used with the -email option or (B) details have previously been saved using the “Remember Account Name” checkbox. This argument must not be preceded by any other argument other than -email. The -nopatchui argument must also be specified for this to work (as of Oct 13, 2012). This argument implies -autologin.

Warning: Putting your password in a shortcut or a batch file makes it easily accessible to everybody with access to your computer.
Never use this option if you are sharing your computer with other people whom you do not trust completely.

Example:

“<…>\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -email myname@myprovider.com -password 12345 -nopatchui

Note If your password includes spaces, it needs to be enclosed in quote marks.

Example:

“<…>\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -email myname@myprovider.com -password “1234 5” -nopatchui
