Log in every time?

For several years now I have had a shortcut on the desktop that automatically logged me in and took me straight to my farm. Now all of a sudden it has stopped working. I deleted the old shortcut, logged in and made sure the 'remember password' was selected, then set a new shortcut. But to my surprise, the same thing is happening. EVERY time I click on the shortcut it fails to work as it should.

Is this somehow connected to that new email requirement that is in place? And if so, how do we get this fixed so that my shortcut will work again?

  • This is is happening to me now. It may be for security,perhaps people have been able to get on the game who are not the named member.
    An inconvenience but sure it's for a good reason.
    best wishes

  • Mine has been poping up with no log in information lately, but when I hit reload it comes back up with the log in information filled out.  Try it.

    What browser are you using?

    I use the standalone too and I can still get in right away.

    I use Chrome and each and every time I need to type in my user name and password for Bigfarm.  This happens whether I just open the game or log out and still have the page open.  This is a bit frustrating, especially when there is a "Save password" checkbox available.  This started just a few updates ago.

    I use chrome too and so far haven't had any issues, I can still log in automatically.  This maybe a stupid question , but when you leave big farm are you just closing the browser or are you clicking the log out button?

    Okay if you are clicking the log out button, then you are going to have to sign back in again.  If you just close down your browser by clicking the X, then when you go back you should get back on right away without having to log back on.  Try doing that and see if it works.

    You're right - it works that way 
  • Probably not the best place to discuss, but for the last week, I have had to sign on with a username and password every single time.  Irritating, to say the least.

    1.) I use Chrome
    2.) I have ALWAYS hit the log out button--ever since I started playing 8 or 10 yrs ago. Even then, when I hit the shortcut, it would automatically go to my farm and log me in without my having to lift a finger.
    3.) Tried reloading and it still comes up with the same log in page.
    4.) Tried clicking the X and it does the same thing. Still have to put in the information.
    5.) It really isn't that much of a bother except that the shortcut going straight to my farm was how I kept my kids off the game. I showed them that it went straight to my farm so they were not able to play. There was no option to set up a farm of their own. Now, with it coming up with a log in page, I have the kids all wanting their own farms and I have no good reason to say no. So now my computer is locked up for several hours a day with all of them logging in and finding candy, changing crops, fishing and so on. Leaves almost no time for ME to get to mine and I started this years ago as a way to relax before bed, not as a way to keep kids occupied on a rainy day.
    6.) As far as it being a way to keep others from logging in on your account--I can understand the need for security. But it isn't up to a game to protect my identity--it is mine. That is why I never use my real name on any online game I play. I have an email account that is strictly for online gaming log ins and has no personal information of any kind on it. I never post my pic or buy anything in any game I play. I refuse to give my banking/credit information to anyone I don't know for the purposes of playing a game. Should the need ever arise for me to buy something in a game (which it has not), I would always use a prepaid Visa to pay for it. Can't be traced back to me and no personal info associated with the card. 

    So while I really wish they would put the shortcut back like it was, the kids already have their own farms so it is a bit late now anyway. Kind of like shutting the barn door after the horse has ran away....
