Allow the "remember me" in Sierra Desktop App login screen to remember passwords as well as username (as previous versions of Sierra did)
Previous versions of Sierra (version 5 and below) allowed the saving of usernames and passwords in the Sierra desktop app login screen. Since upgrading to 6 this functionally has been lost.

It seems like there would be several levels at which this could be set: per user, per system, maybe somewhere in between for consortia(?).
If a password was going to be saved, it would be nice for it to be encrypted, but I don't know if the SDA could do that.

Thanks for the comment Mdicus. I assumed this was a wanted change. I would like there to be control of this option, so just like libraries can turn on and off the remember me function, it should be optional to remember passwords or not. All our staff have their own computers, there are no shared workstations.

Sierra's "remember me" functionality was changed to remember only the username for staff logins. Libraries requested this change, which was implemented in Sierra 5.2 to improve the security of staff user accounts.
