Default How do you Use the Launchpad?

I have several accounts and it would be nice to NOT have to type my username and password in each and everytime i login. Is there a way to get the Launchpad to remember your information on multiple accounts so you can switch back and forth effeciantly?

When you log in, isn't there a Remember my Details checkbox?

Do this for each account and then you can just select which account you need to log in to from the drop down list (down arrow next to your username, top right corner of window); that is all I do. No need to type in account name or password.
You need to run the launcher for each individual time you log in. You cannot launch the game on one account and then use the same launcher window to launch another instance of the game on another account.

Remus, thank you for the answer, however that is preciesly what I do and it used to work but now it will not remember any of my accounts. Very frustrating. When I select an account from the dropdown menu it has "Object object" under user name and a password that is surely not mine in the password section. SOE tells me that the Launchpad does not remember UN & PW's anymore but I seem to be the only player in PotBS with this issue. With 9 accounts it almost makes the game no fun anymore, no wait , it makes the game NO fun anymore. Been working on this issue for a month now and im no closer to fixing it.

I know it is no help to you, but it still works for me. I wonder what has changed.

You could try a new download I suppose (save the piggs folder somewhere safe in case re-downloading the game wipes the original; if you get caught with a 7 GB download just stop it and copy the piggs folder back).

I was told to:
open launcpad
open game directories
Close launchpad
delete launchpad.libs
reopen launchpad and it will re download files
This fixed it for a couple of weeks but 2 days ago it happened a gain this time without the object object and I cannot fix I wrote tosupport waiting on new answer.
I hope this will fix it for you for now

I installed the game on a brand new build last night and the launchpad will not remember un&pw. wierd , because the object object isnt there anymore, just sends me to blank login window. Sony says they have removed the un&pw memory from the launchpad on all there games. I cant understand why they would do that.
