Steam won't remember my username/password

[Vaxen]

So, since a couple of weeks, each time I go on steam, I have to enter my username and my password, and then enter a code. But the thing is that I check the box that says "Remember me" or something every single time, and it still WON'T remember my username and password, and I have to enter my username, password and code over and over again. I'm sick of doing it! How can I fix it? How can I make it so that Steam remember my username and password?

Please help me

Thanks.

do you run any programs like CCleaner? 'cause that can make it so Steam can't remember you've logged in.. 'cause CCleaner deletes that kinda stuff by default.

There's a whole list of programs that can interfer with Steam... read it and see if there are any you run. If you post which programs on that list you use here, someone may be able to tell you a work around to keep using the interferring program.. but.. also allow Steam to save your creditionals.

I would suggest looking into what the good Hanomaly mentioned above about this issue, however I would NOT suggest that you get into the habbit of using auto-login features like this.

In the past, we have seen many users have an issue with logging into their accounts, due to not remembering the password and login information. This can happen due to the fact that the information always stays typed in and you are not entering it each time, which in turn allows you to over time, forget that information unless wrote down somewhere of course.

So I suggest you manually enter the information each time. Another possibliity is if another person ever gets use of your computer. All they would have to do is get into Windows and there is your Steam account all ready to log in and totally hijack or manipulate any way they want, so it is a really bad security practice to get into. Just trying to help. Thanks.

You can set up CCleaner to ignore certain files and folders, therefore making special exceptions for CCleaner to ignore them and not delete them. Or, uninstall CCleaner and restart your computer and don't use CCleaner anymore.

Because before you uninstall Steam, you must save a backup or original of the entire steamapps folder. Then, your games are not lost having to be redownloaded, as well as all your saved progress for those games.

Just so you know. See this, please.......

You should not need a third party program to uninstall Steam anyway. You shold be able to just use Windows for that.

no, browsers use cookies, when other programs store that kind of stuff it's not called cookies

I have the same issue: I have to type always my password/login, steam just can't remmeber it, it is really annoying. Of course I tick the "remember" checkbox and I double-checked that the "do not store it on this computer" among the setting is unchecked. I use steam on Linux.
