Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Describe what you expected should happen and what did happen. Please link any large code pastes as a Github Gist

I expected that if I save my password I should be able to launch Steam again. However, if I save my password, Steam crashes every time it launches and I need to delete my steam directory in home to use it again.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Save password
  2. Quit and relaunch steam
  3. Cry

Note that this happens on beta and the regular version as far as I can tell.

I do not have the minidump anymore, but I sent a copy to support and requested it be added to this bug somehow
