Hi,
Do you mean that when you play the game after quitting the game (the next day or so)
that login/password is saved?

If so, you could use playerprefs actions to save/load the data, but i would recommend to use an asset (for example Easy Save)
playerprefs is good for saving preferences, but not for delicate things (like passwords) as it is very easy to hack.

Actually I'm going to create something like a simple website with Unity! I need a database to save usernames and passwords. Playerprefs can't help because as I know it's a temporary method works with windows registery key. anyway ... Can I create a database of string variables with Easy Save?

Hi,
I do not think that Unity is the right tool for this.

But yes Easy Save supports MySql :

There are better solutions, maybe this can help :
