Remember me tickbox

Pridefrag

I am sure this has been suggested already but it's been bothering me ever since I came on the forums. Why doesn't Z8 add a "Remember me" button next to the log-in, so you wouldn't have to log-in a zillion times.

Probably wouldn't be very safe, plus what do you do when you want to log into an alt?

Hmm is it me or people are now lazy to write theys passwords/login id's these days. Nah just kidding.
It's good idea but i think it would not work. For now z8games server remembers only your login id. If you check tickbox down.
Same as the others free to play games.

I suppose it isn't really needed, it only takes seconds to write a password.

It'd be nice, but isn't need. I'm neutral on this.

Security reasons...I would guess and that way people are forced to keep remembering there log info.
btw any browser these days even IE has a option to save login info so use that....

theres a remember me for the login already...isnt that good enough? Plus what if some one decides to go on CF on your computer and they see that your login and pass are saved already

on public computers only

I don't feel like we need it TOO much! It doesn't take too much effort to type in your username/password. Anyways, +1 to save 1 second of my life each time I log onto CF

My thoughts exactly.

Just waiting for Chrome noobs to come in and say, "anmg liek dl extansiuns !11"

There's actualy a tickbox where you can save your username only when you arrive at the login of CrossFire. However the suggestion was for the Z8Games website, to add a "Remember Me" option where the id and pw can be saved so that you don't have to continously type it every time you want to login to the website.

Again, it's for security reasons that Z8Games will not consider this suggestion and implement this feature.

Then why do sites like YouTube, Twitter or Facebook have those? I've personally never had troubles. Security reasons huh, oh well.

Speculate

My computer already remembers me.

Think about security reasons this way.

When you have a Facebook and it gets hacked, you of course will lose your profile and account. But fortunately, it's completely free and you're able to create a new one and move on from there.

When you're playing a game where there are many people who may be looking to hack your account for various reasons, I'm sure you do not wish to be hacked. You'd easily lose your entire account, including all your weapons, experience, money, etc. For a game like CrossFire, those losses are considered to be serious matter and seems to be very valuable to almost everyone.

It will not make sense to add an option such as this. Therefore I highly doubt it will by Z8Games. Here's just my two-cents opinion and explanation on this.

I know it was for the browser.. but in most browsers now, you can already tell it to save the password anyways! Plus, typing the username and password STILL (on the browser) only takes about a second...

Well I suppose you can possibly add them back? Lol.

But yeah, if you lose your CF account, it probably wouldn't be as pleasant as losing a Facebook account. At least to/for most people, that's the case.

Correct.

Spending an extra second or two typing can prevent any keylogging and account being threatened of losing or being hacked.

1) would take time adding every person back
2) what if they don't accept my friend invitation =[

I'm not too big of a know-it-all when it comes to Facebook, Myspace, etc. I used to have a Twitter, but I forgot the info to it. However, I do know that adding friends on Facebook isn't an easy thing and it probably will take time to add all the real friends and random people back. The same principle applies to probably both Facebook and CrossFire too.

My opinion on not adding this feature on the web browser site will stand just because Facebook compared to CrossFire is free, while CrossFire normally will require money, for MOST people at least. Of course, some do choose to not pay money to play this game. I certainly will not feel pleasant when it comes to me losing an account that I've spent real money on and used for many months. But yeah, again, just my two-cents being displayed here.
