If you try to log into the app and get your password wrong, the app will erase the username you wrote. That is very annoying, especially if you don't remember your password very well and have to attempt it multiple times. Please make the username stick upon failed login attempts.

And they can be sure it wasn't the username you got wrong because why?

This is a basic security design, there's no way they know it's you trying to log in.

give us the choice Sep 3, 2017

Well, chances are only you use *your* cellphone. If people want more security, all the power to them, but at least give us a "remember username?" checkbox like so many websites have, so that the added security is optional.

Thanks for this feedback comment as well Sep 4, 2017

Hello BNN Medical Tr.,

As Lincoln mentions, this is basic security design. However, in the future, login may be adjusted to save or remember username or password.

Thanks!

Lucia
