SmartLogin
by Calimarri
SmartLogin is a Forge utility for Minecraft 1.8.9 that signs players into servers automatically, so no login command has to be typed after each join.
What it does
Once a server is saved in the configuration, the mod sends the stored password when the client connects, which is the automatic login the author describes. The password and the login behavior are set in a file named smartlog.cfg inside the .minecraft folder, found in whatever game directory is in use. Opening that file with Notepad or any plain text editor shows an entry such as S:password=ChangeMe, which the player replaces with a real password.
The change takes effect after the game is saved and relaunched, and the author notes that the game only needs to be run once and closed before the file can be edited. SmartLogin is published for Forge on 1.8.9 only, and the environment is client-side only, so only the player's own client needs the mod and the server runs without it. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Automatic server login
The mod signs the player into servers it has been set up for, skipping the manual login step on every join.
Config in the game directory
The file is created in the config folder inside .minecraft, so it travels with the game directory in use.
Setup by one launch
Running the game once and closing it creates the file, and the settings take effect after saving and relaunching.

Use cases
Private or home servers
A player who joins the same server often can keep the password in the config file rather than typing it each session.
Who it’s for: Players on Minecraft 1.8.9 with Forge who join password-protected servers frequently. Because the password is stored in plain text, the mod suits players who accept that risk on their own computer.
How it compares
NoSession is also client-side only and open source under the MIT License, but it targets Forge 1.8.9 like SmartLogin and handles sessions differently. OfflinePass and Stupid Login both need the server as well as the client, and they are not open source; OfflinePass covers only 1.20.1, and Stupid Login covers 1.20.1 – 1.21.1.
