Require Password Always

Submitted by ZHarrold on #1

This may be a feature request, but is there a way to require users to always enter a password when they borrow a USB device from a hub? Currently, users have the option of saving a password, or not being asked for one if they used the device "recently". It would really benefit my use-case to have an option (ideally on the server-side) to require a password for all borrow attempts, as users can use multiple different passwords depending on the exact work they are engaged in.

Thanks,
Zac.

Thanks marko but i think ZHarrold might need the client to not remember the password automatically which it does by default.

The way to not remember is to press SHIFT+F9 and that will clear the remembered password for the highlighted device

SHIFT+F8 will clear all remembered passwords for all devices

So you need to use one of those commands to unsave a remembered password

That does work at clearing a password when a user clicks "Save", what I was really hoping for was a way to eliminate the grace period where the password is automatically saved. It appears to be at least an hour (based on my testing) which is quite frustrating. I do understand that a feature like that would be useful in a more consumer setting, but in a corporate environment it's less than ideal.

Thanks,
Zac.

OK this is fixed in 4.1.0 of the server. There is no change to the client
