as far as saving passwords on computers, im not skeered of the internet demons. i am the only person who uses this computer and have never had a password stolen or "hacked" in my life.
i guess it also helps that i work in IT so i know more than the average coconut about this stuff, but im not splitting hairs.
my client perhaps does need updated and that might be the problem, i just turn off the auto update feature cause when it was on, AHK and other stuff randomly stops working and i despise being stopped from my session to handle petty problems that are resolved by not updating everytime the client opens.
i'll give it a try and report back.
i just updated and it now saves my password on the first reopening. it is possible it was file corruption or cruft that the upgrade fixed, or possibly a feature of stars, who knows. we'll see if it stays working though and what scripts the update broke.
