Disable Save Password Option in Dial-Up Networking (Windows NT/2000)
Category: Home > Security > Network
When you dial a phonebook entry in Dial-Up Networking (DUN), you can use the 'Save Password' option so that your DUN password is cached and you will not need to enter it on successive dial attempts. This key disables that option.
Open your registry and find the key below.
Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value called 'DisableSavePassword' using the settings below.
Exit your registry, you may need to restart or log out of Windows for the change to take effect.
