[feature request] login not as pop up box

Post by Epic428 » 23 Dec 2015, 07:43

I'd like the login screen for nzbget to not show as a pop up box. It's kind of annoying when I keep the tab open on my phone and it's been a while since I last visited the page and then I open chrome for something quick and have to login to switch tabs or whatever. Basically I'd like it to function like couch potatos login screen or 99% of the rest of the web lol.

Login screen is controlled by browser. If your browser can't save login credentials it's a failure of the browser (a bug probably).

As a workaround you can add username and password to the URL:

Code: Select all

 http://address:port/username:password/

Chrome for iOS uses the system dialog box when entering user and pass. I think it's how iOS is setup and the way it treats background tasks as battery optimization method. Having the username and password in the url works well but kind of defeats the purpose of having a username and password. I still think the login method should be changed as a personal opinion only as a convenience factor but for the time being ill utilize the workaround.
