About saving passwords

Your Windows user name and password are saved in the Keychain associated with your Mac OS X account.When the Add to Keychain option is selected, a Keychain entry is created for every remote computer you connect to.

You might be prompted to supply your password upon connection, even if you saved it in the Keychain. For example, your saved password will not be entered automatically if you are connecting to a computer running Windows 2000. Network policies might also require you to enter your password manually.

If your Mac OS X Keychain is locked, you will be prompted to enter your Keychain password each time you save a new password or connect to a Windows-based computer.

For more information about the Mac OS X Keychain, see Mac Help.
