This is still an issue with the launcher available on minecraft.net at time of this post.
The only launcher I have ever managed to 'auto-login' with was the one that accepted a username and password without prefixes. I realise it is most likely not related to them, but once the prefixes were added no launcher since has actually logged in automatically. I have tried the multiple ways available by command-line and received many different results, none of them actually logged me into the game.
I can understand streamlining code, but I do not feel this is relevant here. Many games that require login details will give the option of 'auto-login' and 'auto-play'. Therefore I feel that the auto login option should function when both username and password are passed to the launcher. Without it there is a pointlessly added user action: Click the 'Login' button.
