Okay, whenever I update my account such as bio, etc., I have to manually delete the SteamID and password. This normally wouldn't be a problem except I about lost my account to it.

Fix please?

What I mean by manually delete is every time I update my profile I have to highlight both my SteamID and my password and press backspace.

The password you can leave there, I also do and it doesn't change anything.

I don't know about SteamID

There's a glitch that for some reason puts stuff in the SteamID field. If you delete it and pdate your profile and delete it and update your profile and delete it and update your profile, it should be gone for good. Just takes a few times of updating.

If it fills out your password field, just make sure it's filled out with your actual password. I haven't heard of that field glitching before, though, but the site is good at glitching...

It's not a glitch. It's Firefox, which autofills the username above the password.

You can either have Firefox not remember your username and password for Armor Games, or manually delete it every time, or just don't use Firefox.

Not the username, Gantic, the info in the SteamID field. I'd never put anything in that box, and one day there was something. Same thing happened to Strop and a few others.

You could be right that it's a browser issue, though. I don't know. Updating a few times still worked, I don't see why it would have if it was the browser. :/

The SteamID box is above the "Update Password" box, so Firefox treats the "SteamID" as the username box and "Password" as the password. This doesn't happen on IE.

It's partly due the strange setup of that page too. Usually the password would go somewhere under the username, but AG put it at the bottom of the page as a place to change the password which confuses Firefox.

How does that explain that random stuff ends up in the box without being told to save info? I can't remember what it was, but I'm reasonably sure it wasn't Zophia.

Zirsen, spamming is against the rules.

My SteamID was my username, but I'm 100% positive my password was not mine. I used all of my 8 digit passwords that I have ever used, and nothing came back. I had to use the 'Recover Password' option and fortunately it was my main email for it.
