auto-login

Remembered credential access

Auto-login is a feature that automatically signs a user into an account or system without requiring manual entry of credentials each time.

The device or application stores login information and applies it on startup or when accessing a service: I enabled auto-login so I don't have to type my password every morning.

Also written as autologin.
