How do I reuse passwords?

avatar

Hello,

I don't see an option to choose some sort of saved entry when I create new RDP connection. I have expected that I can save 'credential entry' type which consists of domain/username/password and then associate that entry with bunch of RDP connections. So next time I change password I just need to change it in one place. Is it not possibly or I did not find a correct setting for it?

You also need RDM Enterprise for that.

Thanks, this works. Now follow up question.
I want to use dual factor authentication each time I launch Remote Desktop manager. I store all my data in XML file which is replicated via Google Drive to several computers where I have RDM Enterprise installed. I want each time I launch RDM against that file to prompt me for Google Authenticator code before using this file. Is it possible?

Hello,

It's possible to configure a 2 Factor Authenticator (2FA) on a SQLite data source, however, It's not possible on a XML data source.

You can save a SQLite data source on your Google Drive.

When the file is created, you can configure the 2FA via File -> Data Sources

For more information, please consult http://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/2-factor_authentication.htm

I tried that but I'm not sure what is missing here since I was able to import this data source on another machine and it did not require two factor authentication to neither add or use it. It does require 2 factor on computer I created a source but I need this to be required everywhere it's being used at.
What I want ultimately to accomplish is to have encrypted data file which is replicated through Google Drive which requires me to use 2 factor authentication each time I launch RDM. Is it possible?

Right, the 2FA settings are saved in the data source configuration, not in the DB because if you hold the DB you could modify it to your liking using other tools.

Using "Individual" based data stores like SQLite, you can only apply a single password on the file.

Well partial solution to this is to store password in LastPass which is protected by 2FA and still use individual based replicated data store. I just expected RDM to figure this out without hooking into third party tools.
