Minecraft: EE and iPads Logins

I'm currently looking into rolling out Minecraft Education Edition out to our fleet of iPads, however, I've hit a bit of a wall and not sure how to get around it. Basically, I'm in an environment where all our students have individual needs. This means that a constant login box every time the device exits means one of our aids needs to go to the device and log the student back into Minecraft. This is understandable causing some backlash and staff are demanding they get the paid full version instead of the education edition and at $10.99AUD per licence, this isn't going to happen.

I've got 2 ideas on how it can be solved.

1. Save the Login Credentials, rather like MS does for things like Word, Excel etc.. and just check back at random times to ensure that account is still active.

2. Allow a preference file to be used with our iPad Management System that contains the student's username and then the student just needs to enter in their password.

Would like to hear some feedback, especially those working with special needs students. Ideally, I'd love Microsoft to implement a solution that uses a combination of both suggestions, but would be able to live with one

Thanks

I think the team is actually looking for a solution, you are not the only one who think that we need a "save login credentials" button.

Hopefully in sometime we could see this happens.

Thanks for posting Luke, Leticia is correct.

The reason we don't have saved login credentials at this time is because many schools have shared devices and it could create issues. However we are actively working on a way to get this implemented.
