HelloAnyone know if it is possible to disable the save password option on Windows? Every time your access something requiring authentication, and you SSO creds do not cut it, Windows will pop up the username password box. At the bottom of that box there is a "save password" box. I want to get rid of that box. The users should be able to log on using alternate credentials, but those credentials should not be stored.Thanks!Morgan

Hi, Thank you for posting here. According to your description, I understand that: You would like to prevent save password for users using Group Policy. If I have misunderstood the problem, please don't hesitate to let me know. You can enable the following Group Policy to disable caching password.
