RN104 Automatic login credentials possible?
I frequenty use an Edge browser in W10 (don't hate me) to login to the admin page of the readynas and it asks me for login credentials each time even though i check "save login". Any way to make it so that it saves login credentials?

So i was not able to get that clear command to work but i did go back into the NAS and added another user with my windows login credentials and it has now started working. Meaning i am logged into the admin page automatically without a popup asking for username. Seems like i just didn't wait long enough the first time for the windows credentials to update.
Thanks for the help

Hi schwizer, nobody should hate you because of you utilizing a specific browser. As long as Edge suites your needs and you are fine with its way of dealing with your data, you have an acceptable solution.
However, in your case Edge seems to not being capable of keeping in mind the credentials for your nas. And that makes this question to my opinion a clear Windows/Edge question about how credentials are managed on your pc.
Why not looking into the (advanced) settings of Edge to find out how it currently treats credentials. It could very well be, that for security reasons you are wiping out certain information after each browser session. Of course, that would explain the "forgotten" credentials, though.
Good luck with fixing and kind regards.
Hi schwizer
You may want to check if Password saving and Form fill is enabled.

Thank you for the quick replies. Let me give a few more details.
Check passwords are on (When i click Manage Passwords, there is a long list of websites & passwords. The readynas 192.168.etc.etc is not there though.)
The browser does kind of remember the entries. For example, when i log in for the first time in a day, I go to My Computer and right click the readynas in the explorer window and use "View device web page" (Step 1)
Today, I got a blank login screen and I provide my credentials.
This seems to work for as long as the computer is on. For example, if i close the browser and then repeat Step 1, it takes me straight to the admin page (great). But then it'll look like this with some kind of Domain inserted before my email. I then have to delete the domain part or it won't take the credentials.
Alternatively, sometimes the window comes up with "admin" prepopulated. It seems kind of random.
I want to find a way to make the browser remember my email and password for all eternity so i can always click "view device webpage" or log in some how else to the admin page without ever having to give my credentials again. The browser does remember a lot of other logins so i know the functionality is generally working. Example gmail, facebook etc.

Have you tried using the IP address of the NAS on Edge browser instead of Right clicking the NAS Icon on your Explorer?
It seems that the method of accessing the NAS admin page is the one causing it. When on the Edge browser after logging in it should ask you if you want to save the password.
