Topic: Password on eShop

Why do you have to type in your password every time you log on?

Where's the 'Remember password' checkbox?

Or am I missing something obvious?

It now stores your credit card details which is a bonus but the password thing is still a ball ache.

Go to eShop, go into Account information, scroll down to Password Entry Settings and flip to Skip Password.

Ahhhh, thanks Murph!

Knew I was missing something.

Cheers!

i like having to enter it actually. was annoyed at first, but this forces you to remember it... i'll leave it like that where i have to enter it.

I'm in eshop but I can't find account information. Am I doing something wrong?

@RainbowLolita13 Your account page on eshop is stealthy On eshop, see your Mii/user icon in the upper right corner, clicking your user icon opens your account page. You'll see settings below your wish list, I believe .

I'm still on eshop but I can't see my user icon in the upper corner of the eshop password screen. It's not there I need help.

@RainbowLolita13 Can you see games & shop? Right when you open Switch eshop, in the upper right corner, there must be an icon.

@RainbowLolita13 In the screen grab below, see the circular donkey kong icon in the upper right? That's the user icon (yours is likely different. It's your Mii or some nintendo character). When you click that, it opens your account page. You'll see your gold points total... that page. Scroll down there and you'll see "Password-Entry Settings". Set "Starting Nintendo Eshop" to "skip password"

This is your account page below. Your password settings are way down, below your gold points status. So, just scroll down. Move your curser/highlighted focus to the right side of the page, and then scroll down.

@RainbowLolita13 If you still don't see your user icon, then I suspect your aren't the ehsop account holder. Only the user that buys the games can access eshop & account settings, and disable the eshop password.

....or your region country is set for a region that doesn't have eshop.

Everytime I try to enter eshop, It will always tell me to enter my password, what do I do now? I forgot my password could anyone tell me what to do in this case please give me some advice?

You'll have to goto their website, where there's the usual option to reset it....

@RainbowLolita13 I think BruceCM is right, you'd need to sign into your Nintendo account at accounts.nintendo.com. But if you forgot your eshop password, then you've forgotten your NIntendo account password, I think they're the same. You'll have to go to login, and select forgot password, and get an email sent to reset your password.

Yeah, that's what I suggested.... Unless you have the password remembered in your browser, of course

@BruceCM The browser password & eshop opening password at the same, I believe. So, rainbowlolita13 will have to reset their Nintendo account password (at aacounts.nintendo.com) I don't think RainbowLolita13 figured that out yet. And RainbowLolita13 seem tired with the situation - ubderstandable.

Yeah, hopefully that's sorted out.... I'm sure they'll soon post to say, either way

I finally sorted the problem out, I needed to change my password and then go into eshop to change the settings to skip typing in the password to enter eshop. Thanks for your help!

Glad you fixed it!

(That is what i said above. But, if you were annoyed with the situation and missed the posts, I totally understand 😉)
