Hey, I'm tearing my hair out on this one. Every time I close Dreamweaver 8 and then open it up again, my sites (not FTP or RDS server sites) don't seem to have usernames and passwords. YES, I tried deleteing my config folder and YES I tried reinstalling and YES I tried reimporting all my site and YES I do have "Save Password" checked. I can't figure out why, but DW won't even ask me for it when I try to put I have to go into manage sites to input a password that will be forgotten the next time I close. If anybody knows how to fix this, please help me.

and look for the line 15
confirm that info is there....

ryanknu, I'm having the exact same problem. Did you ever find a solution??
lebisol, I exported as you suggested. The info is not in line 15. I added it and imported. The info won't stick.
The saved box is checked, but whenever I close DW8, the usrname and pword are empty when I restart the program.

I've got a new twist on this:
I edit and test locally, here on my computer, and dreamweaver's line 15 in the export has my local testing server information in it and not my remote server! This could be part of the problem although I'm not absolutely sure what that is.

It's weird, I edit the .ste file and hardcode my username and password in there, and then I import it into Dreamweaver and it can connect, but when I shut dreamweaver, then open it and export the site again, the username and password have been removed from the .ste file.

That was a big problem in MX 2004 and was corrected with the patch. I haven't had this problem in ver 8. Have you updated any patches? You can also check the Adobe forums and support docs for this problem if the patch doesn't correct it.

This has to be some sort of bug/corruption. I have been using DW 8 for a long time and it just started doing this to me.
I think it happened because I cancelled an "Updating the site cache" but it has corrupted username/password on *all* of my sites, not just the one I cancelled on.
Anyway -- ugh -- the only way to fix, as far as I can tell, is to recreate the site as a "New Site".

I just noticed I was only up to 8.01. I upgraded to 8.02 and tried it and now it seems to be retaining the info.
Now I noticed earlier in this thread that it happened in 8.02 as well, so it probably is a corruption of sorts as aafz pointed out that occurs regardless of version. (hypothesis)
Maybe reinstalling the update will help. I just tried and it does let you reinstall it.
I'm retaining my user info so far. Someone else dare to give it a try?

In my earlier post I thought that recreating the site was working but that didn't stick long-term. However, I have patched now and that seems more promising! As mentioned earlier, it's at:
SCORE!
I was having the same problem with only one site out of 3 I had set up. When I installed the 8.0.2 patch, not only did it fix that problem, it also reset my 30 day trial of 8.0
Funny little quirk... actually first it reset it to 30 days (from 23), then I closed and reopened to test the patch solution, and my trial period was at 31 days... who knows how high it will go
Anyway, the 8.0.2 patch does solve the problem. Thanks!

Did you happen to notice this problem happen right after you updated IE 7? I never had a problem saving passwords until I updated the browser. Thanks for the information about the update working, I was not sure if that fixed this problem or not.
I updated to IE7 and it didn't affect my site definitions. Mine happened before I upgraded to 7. It hasn't happened since I ran the DW updater, but I won't hold my breath.
Running the 8.0.2 updater seems to work even if you already have used 8.0.2 updater. So keep it handy just in case.
