Auto Login

Stop asking me for my login and password every time I launch ZWIFT on the mac. Offer a tick box to save it and autologin in future.

Itā€™s coming!

Same for the PC, nothing more annoying than being asked to enter your credentials on a private PC that you use all the time for Zwift.

itā€™s coming too

Yes, this is a very anoying thing. And it canā€™t be that hard to programā€¦ I you can make an entire world full of happy people on bikes it must be a piece of cake to make an auto login feature! :slight_smile:

anything that adds faff to setting up a workout is bad. one of the nice things about Zwift is its clean and simple interface. less faff = less excuses not to get on the trainer. add autologin and its another faff out of the way :slight_smile:

Agreed with the above comments, auto login would be greatly appreciated.

In the meantime (meaning, the last several months), Iā€™ve solved that problem externally.Ā 

On Mac, I store the credentials in the Mac OS X encrypted ā€œKeychainā€ keystore. This is where the credentials belong, and should have been from the start. My code works and is fully automated. Literally double-click the icon and youā€™re pedaling, zero typing or interaction.

On Windows, Iā€™ve been working on getting those put into ā€˜Credential Managerā€™, instead of the Internet Settings.Ā 

A member of the community has contributed an AHK (AutoHotKey) script to do automated login on Windows (and some additional hotkeys to use in-game:Ā

And Iā€™ve written two HOWTO documents describing how to do this on Mac and Windows:Ā

Fantastic to hear this is on the way!

At the moment in order to start everything up I need to fire up Teamviewer from my mobile. While it doesnā€™t take a massive amount of time itā€™s clunky, so the less interaction needed with the PC the better.

Cannot wait for this! Ā At least remember my email address like the old beta version did.Ā 

Donā€™t know what happened, but since a few days I can select theĀ email that I always use and it will also put my password in the right place.Ā 

Basically it uses the Internet Explorer ā€œSave your passwordsā€ function. So that is a great win!

thnx setuid, works like a charm!
