    Entering in a password after every time the beta crashes is very annoying, especially when you have a long one you can't remember... just add a 'Remember Me' checkbox?

    just do this:

    go to \Programs Files (x86)\Planetary Annihilation\PA\media\ui\alpha\start\

    and open "start.js" with notepad++ or another editor that has line numbers.
    • Skip EULA
    put this code at line 855.
    Code:
    $("#dialog_eula").dialog("close");
    model.ubernetLoginIn(); model.mode(1);
    • Automatic Login
    edit line 145.
    Code:
    self.password = ko.observable('TYPEYOURPASSWORDHERE');

    credit goes to @sneakyness

    You don't need to enter in a password on Steam. If it's that big of a deal, try steam.

    In the meantime, getting a fully functioning game is more important than us having to type in the password.

    So many threads on this same topic.

    "Just add a remember me" is more complicated than that sentence.

    I'd rather Uber focus on the game.

    The game uses windowless fullscreen, so just have add your password randomly to the bottom of some notepad already existant on your computer?

    I would use live.js and put it in brackets at the bottom, doesn't hurt a thing) and copy-paste it from there every time.

    Perhaps what is taking so long, is that the password is not encrypted at all. If it were to linger in a saved state, it would do so directly to your live.js and be openly readable from anyone from there.

    We didn't create these threads.

    We're just answering them.

    Also, didn't ZaphodX just mention he accidentally necroed that one?

    Anyway, aggressive moderation isn't what this forum uses. It is nice to be tidy, but that just didn't happen. Let one of them sink to the bottom of the forum list.

    I replied to this one when it was higher than the other one in the forum list.

    yea making it the original. and the one he shoulda searched for.

    then you only did because of the order I replied to them in. and because I choose (after hesitation) not to bump it, thinking it unnecessary.

    ...seems i was wrong.

    If the password is remembered, it must be remembered in a secure way so it can't be easily discovered.

    If it's just stored in a text file, anyone who hacks my computer or simply gets on my computer can discover it.

    The password must be stored in an encrypted manner.

    You're right I'm going to not do the above because of hackers and how often of every month they steal my UBER account password but not my credit card credentials.
