I will use Windows 10 'Fall Creators Update' version 1709 as the Remote Desktop client. If you enabled the option Allow me to save credentials in the Remote Desktop client app, you will be prompted to save the password. The next time you connect to the same remote PC, you will be logged in automatically. Hello, I use MS RDC (latest version) on my MacBook Pro to access a Windows 7 professional client in our network. After updating on macOS Sierra the password is not saved anymore, no matter if I check 'save to keyring' in the dialog or not. Same applies to the user information in RDC's settings. Apart from that RDC works well as usual on Sierra. Select the Remote Desktop Connection Client item under Remote Desktop Services. In the Setting list on the right, double-click on the Do not allow passwords to be saved setting. On the dialog box that displays, select the Enabled radio button. Open “ Credential Manager “. Select the “ Add a generic credential ” option. In the “ Internet or network address ” field, provide the name or IP address of the server.

Microsoft Remote Desktop Save Password

There’s an issue in Windows 10 which causes Microsoft Account passwords to become out of sync when using Remote Desktop (RDP). For example, I have a few computer systems running Windows 10 which I only access via Remote Desktop using my Microsoft Account (for example, username@outlook.com). If I were to change my Microsoft Account password from another computer system or Outlook.com, the new password will not work when connecting over RDP. However, the old password will continue to authenticate successfully. This is both annoying and a security issue. Below is a method to force a password sync.

The easiest way to resolve this issue is to create a local administrator account (not a Microsoft account) and then use the local account to runas an application using your Microsoft account. If that sounds ridiculous, that’s because it is.

  1. From the affected system, click Start or Cortana and type “Command Prompt“. From the list of results, right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
  2. Run the following commands replacing “[username]” and “[password]” with any username and password of your choice. The first command creates the user account while the second command adds the account to the local administrators group.
  3. Log off and log back into the system using the local account you just created.
  4. Click Start or Cortana and type “Command Prompt” and hit Enter. Run the following command (update username@outlook.com with your Microsoft Account email address). This will launch another command prompt as the user account and force an update to what I assume is some sort of password cache. Close both Command Prompt windows and sign out.
  5. You can remotely access the computer using your Microsoft account with the correct password. The old password will no longer work with RDP.
