My name and passworld disappear

Lately, I’ve been having a problem with having to re-enter my name and password when I first open a module from the library screen. I’m running Windows Vista, Vassal 3.2.2 and have the latest Java. This is a new problem - just started a couple of weeks ago.

What changed just before the problem started?

I’m not sure there were any changes. I did recently switch from Norton to Webroot for my anti-virus and firewall product.

This is a problem we’ve heard reports of periodically, but we’ve never
been able to reproduce it. If you’re able to determine what the steps
are to trigger the problem, let us know.

I’m experiencing exactly the problem described. I run Windows 7 Home Premium with Vassal 3.2.2, Java’s up to date. It’s a real pain since I didn’t save my PW, and am engaged in multiplayer games. Just started tonight. There was some MS systems upgrade that loaded this AM…

The same thing happens for me too now. Started yesterday.

Note that your password is stored in VASSAL’s Preferences file, which
is just a ZIP archive. So, you can likely retrieve it from there if
you can’t remember it.
