x-cirrus Posted December 21, 2020 Report Posted December 21, 2020 Is there a way to save the email and password so that I would not have to enter it every X number of days? I do not know how frequently that happens but it seems that every time I start x-plane and choose SR22 I have to enter email and password. Why? Can't plugin just save my credentials? Also while I am looking for my password SR22 engine is running and if I am not quick enough entering password then engine stops and I have a classic "cannot start SR22" problem.

Gizmo should be saving the license file for 14 days. In Gizmo preferences within X-Plane, you can make sure these 2 main boxes are checked: This also sounds like there is potentially the folder marked as read-only or something that prevents Gizmo from saving the license file to disk. @Cameron might have a better idea for debugging?
Cameron Posted December 21, 2020 Report Posted December 21, 2020 If your time between sessions is 14 days or more you will need to re-enter details. This is a security measure in place. It will not be changed.
x-cirrus Posted December 22, 2020 Author Report Posted December 22, 2020 Can you just save credentials in the safe place and restore when it is needed? I do not know about MacOS but on Windows there is a credential store where apps can securely store their secrets.

x-cirrus Posted December 23, 2020 Author Report Posted December 23, 2020 I have no choice but to use my old good 12345 password
Ben Russell Posted December 23, 2020 Report Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) "better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt" Use a real password manager. I did some reading up on the windows credential manager, it has a very mixed reputation. Do not recommend. There seem to be several trivial ways for a trusted process/app to dump its content in plain text. Edited December 23, 2020 by Ben Russell 1
