sims 4 requires orgin log in every time you want to play?

I got the sims 4 premium edition. I installed it on two of my computers (desktop and laptop). The desktop is the computer the kids mostly play on. Whenever they want to play the game they are being asked to log into my orgin account. Needless to say it's been rather obnoxious to have to come and log them in every time they want to play. I've clicked "remember me" on the orgin log in screen but it only remembers my username, not the password. Is there any way to bipass this so that I'm not having to come and log orgin in every time they want to play? I have installed the game and verified that it's my copy of the game, I shouldn't have to be logged into orgin every time me or my kids want to play the sims 4. Is there not a way for orgin to auto log in when the computer is turned on so that password doesn't need to constantly be put in?

    As long as the PC remains on, the account should stay logged in. If the account is accessed on another computer, it will be logged out unless it is in offline mode.

    Probably you are needing to log in on your desktop because when you login on to your notebook, it disconnects the login in the desktop and you need to login again, you can't have 2 logins in the same account at the same time

    I am aware that if you are logged into two computers it will log one of them off. This hasn't been the issue. When my child is done playing the game he/she will turn off the computer. Then, when another child wants to play, the computer is turned back on and the log in needs to occur again. This isn't an issue of me having 2 computers trying to play at the same time, it's an issue of me not wanting to have to log in every time the computer is turned back on. Is there any way to play without having to log into my orgin account every time?

    They can play on offline mode but the issue is when the computer gets turned off, then back on, I have to relog into the account.

    Do you have the remember login or what ever it's called checked or do they play with different Origin accounts ?

    I do have remember me checked and all it does is remember my user name, but not the password. If there is any way to have the orgin auto-login when the computer starts that would solve the problem too...

    That is weird. Works for me.

    Origin has an option to start with windows.
