Hi. I have Win8 and GentooLinux in two partitions on my notebook. When I login to Steam on Linux, I check "Store password on this computer" checkbox - and it works OK, next time I run Steam it logins automatically without showing me login dialog. But if I reboot to windows, run Steam there with "Store password" checkbox UNchecked (reason: unlike Linux, my Windows partition is unencrypted) and then reboot back to Linux and run Steam, then it shows me login dialog although I think it should not. Thanks.

Keeping this but I'm not sure this behavior is going to change.

Hello @dimgel, are you still experiencing this issue on an up to date system? (Note: #5030 may interfere with testing)

I have no windows version to try, but two linux versions on neighbor comps auto-login ok.
