Saving username and password

[j_vanlinge]

Not sure why, but I have to manually enter my username and password every time I get timed out.  Other people in my district have told me that their info is saved so they just have to click the sign in button.  Is there a setting I can change to authorize PowerSchool to save my login info ?

Hi!

You can save your password to your browser. If you are using Chrome, then here is a way to save your password.

• On your computer, open Chrome.
• At the top right, click More Settings. Autofill.
• Click Passwords. Add.
• Enter a website, username, and password.
• Click Save.

(I'm using Edge, but it's basically the same thing).
Turns out, it will not completely autofill for you, but you have to click on the Password field, and then a popup will show with the autofill info.

This is not normal nor expected behaviour...PowerSchool, please fix this.

What you are describing is more of a browser issue than a PowerSchool issue.  Many modern browsers are set this way so that as you start to type your username it will pull up the associated saved login info and allow you to choose it.  This is a feature that works well if you use multiple logins for different areas of the same base URL.  /admin, /public, or /teachers might all be part of the same URL, but each have a different username.
