Hi guys ,

I have a hotspot on my network , every one can login with usernames and passwords , but i have 2 computers they dont want to use username and password all the time so I want to make those 2 computers log in to internet automatically , so how i can do that , can i do it through MAC Address !! So whats the steps to let a user to use internet without using a username and password for the hotspot ?

You can use ip binding. http://www.mikrotik.com/testdocs/ros/2.9/ip/hotspot.php

However:
MAC addresses can be spoofed.
IP addresses can be spoofed.

You can always ask these users to save their login data with whatever browsers they use at their end.

Additionally, you can use login-by=mac.

Which allows login to HotSpot without asking password, but by MAC-address, as soon as user’s MAC-address is present in ‘ip hotspot host’ list, user is authenticated.

Add login-by=mac;
add user’s MAC-address to HotSpot users, ip hotspot user add name=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX - mac address of the user.
As soon as user is connected to HotSpot, it’s authenticated.
