Asks for Username/Password every time HTML5

[Chillout 110]

Emby used to remember the username and password using the HMTL webserver interface. Now everytime i shut down the browser and reopen it asks for the user name/password. 

 

This happens on Chrome, IE, and Safari on different devices.  I tried deleting the cookies but still having trouble.  Any other ideas?

 

Version 3.0.5905.0

I see this on IE and Edge, not Firefox or Chrome.

I dont run Firefox but it does happen on Chrome, IE, and Safari.  The only way to avoid signing in is to click directly on the Emby Server icon on the bottom right of the Windows toolbar when i'm at the HTPC.  Having to grab the keyboard or tap authorization info on my iphone is not convenient when remote.

 

Chrome recognizes the Emby username and password when i click on the 'key' icon (manage your passwords) but it doesnt automatically populate it or automatically login using existing credentials.

Are you using a VPN? Could that be causing an issue?

I'm also experiencing this problem now.  Started a day or so ago.  Never had this issue before.

I'm using Chrome on Windows and Safari on IOS.

What url are you using?  It was reported in another topic about old bookmarks with /mediabrowser seem to go to login screen every time where /web logs in.

 

I can confirm this behavior http://hostname:8096/mediabrowser/web/dashboard.html vs http://hostname:8096/web/dashboard.html

That was the problem.  I was using the 'old' URL.

 

Thanks

Yup that was the problem..

 

Switched the url to '127.1.1.1:8096/web/home.html' and after loging in again it lets me reconnect without reauthorizing. 

Thanks.
