Auto Login

[Kevsy]

I know there the function is there to save your username but is there a way I can set up the program to log in to betfair automatically when I open it?

Hi Kevsy

I believe it is against Betfair rules for software makers to allow the saving
of passwords? So therefore BA will not save your password, only username.

If you really must or want to auto login then possibly you could consider
a "roboform" filler type program to do it for you? Just Google for it.

Hope this helps - Michael

ok great. I'll check out the roboform. Thanks.

It is against the rules, but we have provided a way for you to do it which does no go against the rules. You can include them as command line switches. Change the program shortcut to point to "Betting Assistant.exe -userid:yourid -password:yourpassword

Hi Gary,
thank you for this tip, but: Is there a option/parameter to load a specific profile?

Another question: I'm not able to change the saved username in ba.
To make it clearer: I have entered a username and ticked the box for saving it. If I now enter another username und tick this box the "new" username is not saved. When I start ba next time the "old" (first saved!) username appears again.
(Have tried many times on different pc, but no success!)
WHERE is the username saved? May i change it anyway?(ver. 1.0.66w)

There isn't an option to select the profile, I will see what I can do.

It's strange that you cannot update the username. It is working here. After you changed the username and unticked the box did you tick it again and get the security warning? You cannot edit the settings file directly as the username is encrypted.

Another way of simplifying the logon process is to use StrokeIt, a very useful application that allows you to assign mouse gestures to repetitive actions.

Yes, there is the security warning, but at the next start there is again the "old" username.
I will try reinstall ba...

Hi Gary,

Did you manage to get a command line for the use of selecting a profile?

Thanks.

Sorry I haven't yet implemented this.
