Question by Jessespike · Oct 02, 2015 at 08:42 PM · unity 5editorloginaccount

Everytime Unity Editor is launched. I am asked to Sign into your Unity Account

The check box "Remember Me" is turned on.

Sometimes I can launch Unity and it will sign me in automatically. Other times, it asks me to sign in consistently. It gets rather annoying having to sign in every time. Is there any reason why the sign in window is prompting for my email and password, even though "Remember me" is checked on?

I have 2 separate versions of Unity installed at the moment. Happens to both of them (version 5.1.3f1 and 5.2.1)

My Internet connection has been stable, with no disconnects.

Do you primarily use one version or the other? Perhaps it is because you have two versions installed.

I'm only using one version at the moment (5.1.3f1), although I do frequently open multiple instances of the Editor. Sometimes I'll have 2 or 3 different projects open at a time, maybe this is what's causing the prompt. I'll have to test this some time.

I would try closing all instances, open a single one, answer the question, close it, and then see if the issue goes away.

So today, I closed all the instances, and re-opened Unity. And the sign in worked, I didn't have to type anything. Which is great for now, but it doesn't answer the question -- why this is happening. I've seen single instances consistently prompt for a sign in as well, but it's not happening at the moment. I'll close this question, and pray the problem doesn't come back.

I solve this problem in Unity 5.5:

The final solution is: 1. Login again, and open the UnityEditor. 2. Go to Help -> Manage License. 3. Click on "Activate New License" to reactivate Unity again. 4. Close Unity and reopen it, check if it ask you to login in again.

why this problem happened to me, I updated my Unity and the login process bugged out. I have to reopen Unity and login again. But for some reason Unity didn't activate properly.

Excellent. This was just such a pain!! The above trick worked for me.

This does not work for me directly, but I manage to get it to work by combining this method with logging out/in in the Manage License dialog. Thanks for the info.

I have noticed the same. I only use one Unity version at a time and i usually don't open the editor multiple times. Yet i see the same behaviour.

Even i haven't tried it myself it should be possible to pass the email and password as commandline arguments to Unity.

 -username <username>
 -password <password>

edit
I have tried it, but it seems it doesn't work. I passed my email address and my password as commandline arguments but Unity still asks for it at startup.

So either i did something wrong, or it doesn't work for "normal mode" and it's only used with the batchmode?!? So it seems there's no solution yet (besides using things like AutoHotkey and write a "login" script)

This is a nice attempt. Maybe it will work for someone else in the future. Thanks for sharing.

Just want to add since Unity version 5.2.x this problem seems to be fixed. Unity seems to have worked on the startscreen where it now shows the username / email you're currently logged in with. Even after a few days Unity seems to remember the login now.

Having same problem here too, but some times carefully exit Unity, and running it again does the trick. If its a glitch in the sign-up "remember me" uiswitch, then i hope they fix it soon.

This just started happening with the Unity 5.3.4f1 for me, every time I close unity and come back, I am asked to sign in, with the remember me button checked. It's annoying, but workable, be nice if there was a fix though.
