iPhone Mobile Formarks won't keep me login
First of all, thank you for a great software and service. I love Foxmarks!
I am using iPhone with mobile Foxmarks (my.foxmarks.com/iphone). Can Foxmarks keeps me login between uses or at least remember my password? It does remember my user name.
Most other iphone native apps and web apps are able to do this so this should not be a technical challenge.
I would normally not mind typing my password to login every time except, for safety, my password is long and it is not exactly easy to type in iPhone.
Please help.

Inappropriate?We hear ya! Typing in your password on a mobile phone is no fun - especially if you have a nice and secure password with lots of different characters and numbers.
To get around this, we plan on adding a "remember me" button, or similar, to the login page for the mobile site. When selected, it will keep you logged in for a much longer period of time so that you don't have to keep re-logging in.
Thanks for the suggestion!
I’m confident

Gaurav,
Thank you for your reply. A "Remember me" button (or actually more like a check box) will be great. Any idea of when this feature will be available?
Best Regards,

Yes a checkbox (that's what I meant to say).
We don't have a timeline on this, it's one of the many little things we're working on. Your patience is much appreciated. I'll update this post when it's available so that you know it's there.
Thanks! -
Inappropriate?I was posting this same question. my.foxmarks.com works great on the iPhone (thank you!) and this feature would make it perfect! No plugin required.
Thanks!
I’m thankful

Inappropriate?I cannot live without Foxmarks and this would make my user experience on the iPhone a perfect one. I just would have to select the myFoxmarks icon on my Homescreen and could immediately see my bookmarks. If at all possible, could you allow for multiple "quick links" which would mean I have more than one icon on my phone and each one takes me to a different (sub)folder of my bookmarks? This could be handled with a regular URL-based web icon, all it would take would be supporting a direct URL for every category/subfolder.

Inappropriate?Check out an app called "Links in a Blink". It gives you access to your Foxmarks bookmarks. You only have to enter your credentials once and it's faster than my.foxmarks.com because bookmarks are stored locally (making it easier to drill down folders).
I’m happy!

Inappropriate?"Links in a Blink" sounds like an awesome idea - I am already downloading it!!!
BUT why does Foxmarks not release their own iPhone app ?!?
Since they have expanded to include Safari & IE, you are almost there!
I’m thankful

Sorry for the confusion, Rich -- my.xmarks.com/iphone is an iPhone-enhanced version of the website, so you simply visit it in your Safari browser on the iPhone, there's no app to install.

Inappropriate?So you can't sync it with your iPhone?
