Students on macOS constantly need to sign in
My daughter is playing Minecraft with her friends using a Mac. She constantly has to sign in, whereas her friends on windows devices are automatically signed in after signing in once. This is frustrating for a 7 year old!
Can the macOS version add support to remember the login?

Hi James Bennett - if you click on Settings on the Home Screen and then select the Profile section, there is an option to enable Single Sign On. This will allow Minecraft: Education Edition to automatically log your daughter in without her having to enter her credentials again. Note that the app will be using the same credentials that your daughter used to login to her device, so if she is not using her Office 365 Education credentials to login to the device, Single Sign On won't work.

As mentioned - she is on a Mac so can't sign on with Office 365 credentials.

James Bennett On Mac and iOS you will need to grant keychain access to Minecraft: Education Edition, which is a prompt you get on startup when it's trying to save credentials. If you're not an admin on the machine you may not see it.

Ah - she's not an admin (cos she's 7 so probably shouldn't be), so I guess that's why.
Is it possible to change to use a web browser for log in so she gets user/password auto complete via the credentials stored in the keychain that she uses on Safari? The standard log-in dialog doesn't do autocomplete.
