Logging in to launcher?

[Azrik]

So far I haven't had any issues with the launcher. However I'm not really clear on what logging into the launcher actually does. Can anyone clarify this?

Logging into the launcher is mentioned in passing in @Number Six's Technical Deep Dive.

Finally, the launcher has the ability to log in to our account system and retrieve an OAuth token. While there is not currently much use to doing this, we have near-term plans to use this functionality to log into the game itself. This allows us to address a common feature request and create a secure method to “remember password” that doesn’t actually save the password.

Ah, ok. Thanks.
