How to get save password option for Office Communicator users

Posted by Mino on May 24, 2009

Open Registry editor and locate the following key:

HKLM/Software/Policies/Microsoft/Communicator, and set SavePassword=1.

This enables a checkbox to save password in MOC login dialogue.

After the password is entered it is saved into the registry

HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Communicator/AccountPassword

This registry key store in hashed value. Changing the hash requires re-entering the password.

Note: You may want to use this option if MOC users login from workgroup machine, or Kerberos authentication is not working
