remembering login/password after restart #26

Hello,

I am on a PC which only I use and which is fairly secure. I am after a method by which Blindspot can remember my spotify user ID/password when it starts up. Honestly, I don't value these credentials so, while it would be nice to store them encrypted, storing them in cleartext is fine, too. Thanks,

It remembers my username but not password. It seems to work if you use a device username. My credentials are not important to me either so even having them in plain text would be fine for me too.

I like this suggestion. I believe there is a proper way to do this using Spotify's API too, we just haven't implemented it.

I'd rather not store people's credentials in plaintext, it's almost never a good idea. But we may be able to store an access token or similar to do seemless logins

That would be great! Slightly off topic but meh, is there a way to copy the playlist URL or your profile URL or track URL to the clipboard? I used to could do this on the regular app when I could see. Can this be done within their API or is it very limited. Yeah, though, I would love to have it automatically sign me in.
