Check that when you enter your password.

Thing is, if your browser is set to reject cookies, or clear cookies/cache automatically, or you do it manually, that will erase the browser's memory of your credentials. It's also per computer/browser. If you switch systems, it won't remember your login and password.

If you have a browser that uses a "keychain" or a password database, you can also use that. Macs have a system-wide keychain, and Google Chrome (and other browsers) will offer to remember passwords if you have the option enabled in settings.
