Why Origin forgets username and password all the time?

★★★ Novice

Steam has never asked me to re enter my user and password.

 

Origin forgets username and password every few days, it never happens with Steam.

 

I don't play many games on Origin so can't be bothered to re enter my user and password in Origin everytime I restart my computer

Why has this been marked as the accepted solution?

 

The solution I accept is to stop using Origin.

late reply but this showed up as the first result on google so...

a workaround/fix for this is:

enter another userid/password, click the keep signed in checkbox and then click sign in. It will obviously fail, but when you enter the correct user/password and sign in it will save the 'new' user and password properly.

 

that worked for me...

If Origin is not remembering your password then this would most likely be a system issue @PeteRoy

Can you see if the following helps:

 

Ensure that you are running Origin as administrator, You can do so by going directly to you origin folder which is generally located at C:\Program Files\Origin Games. Run the origin.exe in this folder with a right-click -> run as administrator. 

 

Can you try enabling Log in verification within Origin to see if it helps:  Origin menu>Account and Privacy>Security> Log In verification> Turn On

 

This should ensure that your device is set as a Trusted Device and hopefully, your details will be remembered.
