Can I just click to input saved password to log in screen?

[daves66nova]

Every time that I need to access my work comp, I need to input my 7 digit user id, then input my 14 digit password. Is there a way to make it to where I can do something that will autofill id and password?

ask your IT dept.

I have my passwords saved but my IT dept doesn't like it.

Given the question - sky is the limit...

It is a really dumb question. If it worked like the OP wants it to, anyone could walk up to the computer and login as him.

OP it is largely a matter for whomever is creating a web-based form (read: a form that is accessed via your web browser, online or not) whether a given field (e.g. username, password) will accept saved or auto-filled data. As frustrating as it can be most of the time, a decision was likely made to disallow this convenience for the sake of security.

He's not talking browser, he's talking windows session login.
The nasty admin has probably also enabled auto session lock after inactivity. How rude.

OP, if you were able to save your credentials and log in with a click, nothing will prevent your coworkers - the ones who love you - to get in your computer behind your back and send a nasty email to your boss from your email, or place an order that will come from you.

It's like asking why your car has a key, and how to bypass it - except the car is accessible from all around the world. Please stop yanking our chain.

They disable the saving in case someone else logs on to your PC. The more modern places have you initially perform that login on reboot and thereafter read fingerprint or facial recognition.

I retired from a Fortune 500 company . There was NO WAY you were going to login using an auto-fill type of process . They made us change our passwords every quarter . It was an electric utility company so there were additional security processes that were required by the .gov including the type of chain and locks on the fence gates ..

 

[goblin]

Don't get me started. If the company is anything but microscopic, OP probably spent a good hour in security training webinars and videos, and signed at the end that he understood it all.

Windows Hello supports hardware keys like YubiKey or smart card to login. Why use those passwordless options when archaic password policies already exist.

Because using the logic in the first question - we might see the YubiKey or smart card taped to the receiver within days ?

History and hackers would dictate some time in the not to distant future your passwords will need to contain half of the 256 character set with at least 10 upper case letters. My former employer I had a Secret clearance there were no saved passwords and a mandatory change every 30 days.
