Question

I am asked to input the password each time I start Skype. How do I get Skype to "remember" my password?

There is absolutely no reason for which Skype should require Administrator-level access to store the password for an individual user who is executing skype.exe as him or her self. Furthermore, I just launched Skype as an Administrator, logged in, exited, and tried again and indeed I am still asked for my password. At no time did a "Remember Me" checkbox appear as an option. And, ultimately, I am unwilling to accept this as a "solution" to the conspicuously absent "Remember Me" checkbox on the login screen in modern Skype versions. Microsoft needs to make this feature available and functional out-of-the-box; no completely unnecessary privilege escalations.

AS of Skype 7.17.0.105, this solution does seem to work. I just tried it. Even though there is no checkbox to "Remember Me", "Remember Password", "Keep me signed-in", etc. upon logging-in, the default behavior seems to be to keep the user signed-in. Unfortunately, I tried one of the other solutions recommended here first (launching Skype as Administrator), so I'm not sure which action fixed it. I'll report back if I'm able to make a reliable determination at any point in the future. Thanks for this!

MS removed the option at logon page, but you still able to set it once you login (Duhh), if this doesn't work because the Windows logon user isn't administrator, choose >> Run As Admin << from the SkePE icon in Programs. (it doesn't show as option when I tried from short-cut on desktop, Windows 7 Pro).
