Description
I would like to offer a complete credential management feature for sessions. Probably with the ability to show saved passwords for sessions. I understand that this can cause security problems, but I think it would be a very handy feature.
The fact is that our organization has adopted a policy of automatic password change in a virtualization environment, and when changing a password, you always need to enter the old password. And this is the problem. Old password is not always easy to remember, since the passwords are complex and there are a lot. Sometimes I forget to save the password in KeePass for example.
I think it would be possible to implement the credential management UI in the Authentication tab in the session properties if the user is using a master password.
