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 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
You may want to check if Password saving and Form fill is enabled.
You may check this link Enable and Manage Passwords & Form-fill in Edge browser.

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.
The same thing happens when i make a favorite and set it to 192.168.8.122/admin. It asks me for the login but the "save password" popup doesn't come up (no addblockers or extensions in edge). Then when i close edge and open it up again and repeat the process, the same thing happens (the Domain login window comes up and i have to delete the domain part).
The reason i like my method for getting access to the NAS is that i don't have to worry about the changing IP addresses. I could lock down the IP address of the NAS but that's another topic i guess. Either way, the problem is the same.
