Want to skip typing your credentials every time you visit? The Save my User ID and Password option is designed for convenience, letting you get to your content faster while keeping your account settings intact.
What this feature does
– When you check Save my User ID and Password at sign-in, your login details are stored on the device you’re using. On your next visit from the same browser and device, your information will be remembered so you can access your account more quickly.
– Important note: If you use the Log Out button, the saved sign-in information is cleared. You’ll need to enter your User ID and Password again the next time you return.
When to use it
– Ideal for personal, trusted devices that only you use.
– Avoid on shared or public computers where others could access your account.
How to turn it on
– Go to the login screen.
– Enter your User ID and Password.
– Check the box labeled Save my User ID and Password.
– Sign in as usual. Your details will be remembered on this device.
How to turn it off
– Log out of your account to clear the saved sign-in on that device.
– If you want to remove all remembered details, clear your browser’s cookies and any saved passwords for the site in your browser settings.
– Next time you log in, simply leave the checkbox unchecked.
Troubleshooting if it doesn’t stick
– Cookies are disabled: Enable cookies in your browser so the site can remember your session.
– Private or Incognito mode: This mode clears data when you close the window; use a regular window instead.
– Browser extensions: Some privacy or security add-ons may block saving. Temporarily disable them to test.
– Different device or browser: Saved details only apply to the specific browser on the device you used to enable the setting.
– Cleared browsing data: If you recently cleared cookies or site data, you’ll need to sign in again and recheck the box.
Security best practices
– Use a strong, unique password or passphrase for this account.
– Turn on two-factor authentication if available.
– Keep your device locked with a PIN, fingerprint, or face ID.
– Never enable Save my User ID and Password on a public or shared device.
– Be cautious of phishing pages that mimic the login screen; verify you’re on the legitimate site before signing in.
Frequently asked questions
– Will I stay signed in forever? No. Saved sign-in information can expire, and using Log Out clears it immediately.
– Does logging out remove everything? Logging out removes the saved sign-in for this site on that device. You can always re-enable it at your next sign-in.
– Can I use this for multiple accounts? It’s best to use separate browser profiles or different browsers if you need to switch between multiple accounts often.
– What if I forget my password? Use the account recovery or reset flow on the login page to create a new one, then decide whether to enable Save my User ID and Password again.
Bottom line
Check Save my User ID and Password for a faster, frictionless sign-in on your personal devices. If you log out, your saved information will be cleared, and you’ll need to sign in again on your next visit. Use this feature wisely to balance convenience and security.
