Remembering the bloody log-in password for launcher option?

So, I have a fairly elaborate password for STO.
I need to look this up, copy and paste it each time I want to get in.
Could we PLEASE have an optional Password Store?
Thank you.

Or you can use a more simple pasword... still complex, but simple to remember... i do, not that difficult

I only need it for the website / fourms when the cookie expires since Arc fills it in automatically when launching the STO client.
But I kept it so secret... that I lost it...

Some people dislike arc though and like to use the original launcher.
I tend to do this, due to the deluge of services/bills/whatnot that require passwords, all unique (mostly), keep separate files, backup, and 2-factor authentication, not to mention never saving passwords on browser, and nowadays people say use a password program, but same time, passwords are pointless/broken.
It is the circle of life that is a pain in the kisser nowadays...sometimes I just wish we had bio chip things, or retina scan, but seeing as how everything is hackable or social engineering acquirable...it's an endless endeavor...
So yes to the OP, change your password, keep your Paypal/whatever you use a different password/username, your CC/bank account, your email, and etc. different.
Use arc for codes. Since they removed Arc Quests, it's a waste of space.
You can use the original game launcher, which requires you to enter your password. Or you can use Steam, which brings up a launcher that requires you to use your paassword.
No, easy to use things are easier to crack. The gibberish as you say, actually falls within encryption bits. For example the U.S. Army says that at a minimum your password needs to contain, 2 Upper case, 2 lower case, 2 numbers, 2 special characters, and be a minimum of 10 characters long. This puts the password in the 158+ bit encryption area, making it far more difficult to crack. The more characters you use here, the higher the encryption bit gets. If memory serves, a 15 character password like this puts it in the 250+ bit encryption range.

Using the same password on multiple sites seems like a great time-saver, until you find out that one of those sites had their password database stolen and it was either plaintext or easily cracked hashes.
LMAO. Man after 11 years in the Army and having to deal with it, plus being a disable vet and still dealing with with the VA. IT'a both funny and infuriating at the same time. Since I still have to change my password every 150 days, because the one I was using expires.
So, at least with games, you don't have to do the mandatory password change twice per year. At least with a game, or other website, you jus thave to remember the on password that you don't actually have to change.
One can then create a decent password, and not having to look it up every ten minutes to log in.
PROVIDING he is on a system he alone accesses, naturally.
That then, should be quite obvious, I reckon...?

As far as this goes. The easiest way to insure that your information is safe, is to never save it on your computer or phone. Anytime I buy something online, say from tigerdirect, bestbuy, amazon, etc. I have to enter my card information every time. This is, if someone does gain access to sch things, all they're going to get is a whole lot of nothing.
We come in peace, SHOOT TO KILL!
Hmmm, maybe the title isn't all that clear, thank you for pointing that out.

Oh I'm not against this type of thing, for those that would want to use it.
Well, a title that says "Put here your passrowrds so you never forget.." was kinda obvious!
