title says it all.
since upgrading to Lion, even though I check "log me in automatically" the site doesn't.
As this is not the only site that exhibits this behavior, I don't believe it's the site. My username and passowrd are remembered and when I enter the "D" it fills in, but that's a hassle.
Didn't behave this way in Snow Leopard or Leopard.
Anyone else have this issue?

If you change IP addys, it will log you out and force a new login. For security reasons (not just this site, but many others) I do not use this "feature". Does it happen with Mountain Lion? or have you upgraded to this yet?

Re: Mac users: lost auto login when upgraded to Lion
I've not yet upgraded to Mountain Lion (OT: should I?)
I have not changed internet providers--ATT--so I suppose my address has not changed, BUT now all IP addresses is the much longer alpha numeric, for a few weeks now?
Don't know what "feature" you reference--you mean login in automatically?
it's a pita though

Sounds like ATT has implemented IPV6 now. The board here will not allow automatic logins IIRC, if the IP addy has changed from the previous time you logged in. I use a VPN on/off all day long and have to log in EVERY time I change the IP due to the VPN. A feature for some, is not for others (automatic logins, etc.). I certainly feel your pain ... anything that gets in the way of technology is poor design.Dr. Strangelove wrote:I've not yet upgraded to Mountain Lion (OT: should I?)

Mountain Lion seems to have cleaned up MANY of the LION memory leaks that were not fixed. For $20, its probably worth it.

Re: Mac users: lost auto login when upgraded to Lion
I assume you are using Safari to browse, right?
I upgraded all our Macs (4 of them) right after ML was released and ALL "forgot" ALL login info for ALL sites we used.
I believe it's just a nature of Safari when you upgrade to ML, as it is new with this OS X release. That's what I think.

I'm using Lion, not Mountain Lion; and Firefox mostly, but same behavior on Firefox, Safari and Chrome as far as I can tell
