Password not remembered

Open Vampire opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

When I send my laptop to sleep and then wake it up, I'm asked for my Skype password, even if I type it in and tick the checkbox to remember the password. Maybe relevant, I installed the wincred plugin to store the credentials in the Windows Credentialsmanager instead of having them in plaintext in a file. I also ticked the "Clear plaintext passwords from memory" option in said plugin.

If I disable the "Clear plaintext passwords from memory" option in the Windows Credentialsmanager plugin, the behavior changes. When I wake up my laptop, it does not ask me for the password anymore, but it also does not work. It says "Failed getting PPFT value, please try logging in via browser first", but just pressing "Retry" makes it login, without the need to open the browser.
