Remember Password

By default, Smart Spec doesn't allow users to save their password. However, this functionality does exist in the released version.

To access it:

1. Open Smart Spec
2. On the bottom of the login screen, click the link for "'Show Advanced Options'"
3. Click the link that says "'Open Data Folder'"
4. Close SmartSpec at this time to prevent it from overwriting our changes.
5. Open the file named "'LoginPreferences.xml'" in notepad. (the "'.xml'" portion may not be visible on all computers)
6. Edit the file as follows: (sample file shown below) Locate the line highlighted below:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
   <LoginPreferences xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
     <ManufacturerID>00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</ManufacturerID>
     <RememberUsername>true</RememberUsername>
     <Username>joe.user@evisionservices.com</Username>
     <Password /></LoginPreferences>

   And change it to this:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
   <LoginPreferences xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
     <ManufacturerID>00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</ManufacturerID>
     <RememberUsername>true</RememberUsername>
     <Username>joe.user@evisionservices.com</Username>
     <Password>MySuperSecretPassword</Password></LoginPreferences>

7. Save the file and open SmartSpec.
