How come the web site can remember my password but the client can't? Is the web browser which I use to log in to the forums safer than the eve-client? |

Nothing says the client can't, it just doesn't.
Don't assume bad intent, when stupidity is the much more likely cause. |

I'm sure CCP will add a "remember account info" checkbox at some point. Things are only impossible until they are not. |

It's a feature, not a bug. WoW holds your hand until end game, and gives you a cookie whether you win or lose. EVE not only takes your cookie, but laughs at you for bringing one in the first place... |

I heard you wanted miscellaneous programs to grab your uber-sekcret "password" password. Creator of CCP ZULU - Incarna : Pants Online ( http://youtu.be/AObrlCf3Dcs ) |

Ironic as it may sound but the "Remember me" checkboxes on account user/password fields are actually more likely to be forgotten. It may help the computer remember it but it increases the likeliness that YOU will forget it. |

Keyloggers rejoice!
They truly hate sites, games, banks and anything else important that have a 'remember password ' option.

But I would really like to be able to use different password on forums (without needing to use forum alt.)

I happen to know exactly how to get remote access to your pc ( if i wanted to, but i am civilized, so i don't ). There are lots of people capable of doing that. Yes i am dutch, no i don't do drugs. |

The lazy option is also the most forgetful :)
I tend to write them down in a pwd book. I seriously doubt someone's gonna bust into my house and learn Anglo Saxxon Runic Alphabet to get my passcodes for MMOs
I worked at a Lowe's once and broke my clock in password so bad they had to remove me from the computer and reenter me by making it three spaces https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1109909#post1109909

There are lots of people capable of doing that. Edit: just because it has never happened to you ( yet at least ), doesn't mean it can't and i think CCP is very wise, not to implement such a feature for this reason, what you choose to do with your browser is a different story, but that's not something CCP has control over.
Please do try, cause all the routers, firewalls, clsoed ports... your lack of an IP addy, etc etc... REALLY is gona get you remote access lol...
Again world of tanks... who has WAY more players than eve... has a remember password tick box... they have yet to remove it...
Can't be all that bad now can it?
Also if you can get remote access you can install a key logger that would give you the PW anyways... so your whole point is moot.
TBH at this point, it is better that CCP has the remember PW tick box, as I would not need to type it in and the only way you could do anything would be VIA remote access... rather than getting my PW...
Any other dumb things you want to say? rofl. |

It would be nice.
And really, if someone was able to sneak malware (of the type that could read your password out of the Eve folder) onto your PC then they could have just put a keylogger there instead. Most annoying thing of the week: You failed to dock/jump because you are cloaked (in your Deep Space Transport). |

If the concept I've presented is too complex for you I doubt I can dumb it down any further without resorting to pictures for the big words. We want breast augmentations and sluttier clothing in the NeX! |

I'd like to be able to log in with my ssh public key. Easy, portable and about as secure as anything going (certainly better than typing a password), but games never support it. |
