Automatic logins
- -autologin will now be handled by Gw2Launcher due it becoming unreliable
- Fixed a problem that could cause links to be clicked that was caused by GW2 changing its scaling after showing the launcher
- The authenticator code can now be automatically entered and remembered (Edit > Security). Note this relies on CoherentUI, so it will stop working when ArenaNet switches to CEF
Localized execution
- Localized execution now has inclusions/exclusions for cases when only a few accounts need it
Window templates
