password DOH !

[just_for_spam]

just bought Ultra App kit on Steam because its on sale  

downloaded, installed, launched 

it pops up a log in window (why do I need to create a log in ? who knows ?) 

but I click the link to Create an Account 

I get taken to this forum 

I fill in my user name and email, the browser suggests a password -- I automatically accept (DOH !) 

go back to steam -- relaunch -- put in my name -- and I have no idea what my password is because I accepted the suggested one -- and I didn't bother to write it down because I knew my browser would save it and automatically fill it in whenever I came back to the forum 

so now if I want to use the software I have to change my password 

WHY WHY WHY do I need a freaking user id and password to sue your software ?

this is so DUMB

Without email registration, there is no way to contact customers directly.

I sent a private message with some info.

Just go to chrome://settings/passwords to see your saved passwords (works in all Chromium-based browsers).

It's fine. But the Steam store page does say that a user account is required.

Valve wants developers to be responsible for providing all the promotion to drive traffic to Steam now, and I can't do that if I don't have an email list of customers. I would recommend anyone releasing anything on Steam do the same.
