Batch Edit - Password Only
I'm trying to batch edit the password I have saved in all of my RDP and SSH sessions. Because we use Beyond Trust's Password Safe, the username is a direct connect string that is unique to each session, so that can't change.
When I do a Batch Edit -> Change Saved Credentials, the username gets changed as well as the password. I've tried unchecking the username box, but then it blanks out the password for all the sessions. If I leave it checked it sets the username on all sessions to the first session of the group I've selected.
Is there another way to batch edit just the password and leave the username intact?

Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to report this! First, let me just confirm that the first behaviour you describe is indeed a bug, and I've opened a ticket to fix this.
As for a workaround, you can select all the entries you want to modify and use the Edit -> Edit (Special Actions)... -> Custom AppleScript with the following script:
set password of _connection to "NewPassword"
save _connectionOf course, replacing NewPassword with the actual password you want to set. This should allow you to change the password, and only the password.

That didn't work either. It blanked out both the username and password.
This shouldn't, I've tried the script just before sharing it. The script specifically only set the Password property. There's no reason the username would also be cleared in this case. Is it possible you tested on entries were the field were already cleared previously by the aforementioned bug?
You can find a video demonstrating this attached to this post.
