Seems like a good oversight to not allow saved logins when running this very annoying two factor authentication. A simple toggle for a single saved PC or Device so you don't need to enter more codes into Runescape than my own Bank Account. Already use the in-game pin and large pass; but now to login to the website I gotta use the authenticator app every single open? The "illusion" of security does not increase security.

If you have upgraded to a Jagex Account, the website will remember you if you log in on the main (home) page, and then navigate to the section you need from there. By logging in on the home page, I'm usually only asked for my 2 factor code once a month.

Hopefully the intention is to have that work for all the website pages in the future, but for now it is just the home page that works that way.

Before you log into the game, just click on your Message Centre or any Newspost article, as shown below. That will automatically log you in and take you to the website at the same time:



That's what I've been doing for years with no trouble, especially now with Jagex Accounts :) .

Why can't just link for community website in Jagex launcher log you in? I have to login everytime I close tab with forum and open new one. I would understand extra security for rs shop.

yes, that's a way, but you have to go to lobby while doing that. A bit complicated.

It isn't complicated at all. The Jagex Launcher already has your login information saved. All you have to do is click on the green "Play" button to go to the Lobby/game as you said. Then, just either go into the game -- which is what MOST players do ;) -- or click on a Newspost or the Message Centre to log in to the website, as desired.

There is no complication at all.
