Hello, My company has recently moved to Azure Virtual Desktop and we're using the Remote Desktop client for Windows version 1.2.4157.0 (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/whats-new-client-windows). Because our servers and computers are in different domains we cannot use the local account to login to the Virtual Desktop. This means the users have to click on "More options" and "Use another account" when logging in to the Virtual Desktop. The problem is the we do not get the option to remember the account. This is only a problem for this application. How do I enable the option to remember the account?
You can see an example here. The text is in Norwegian but you can see there is no checkbox to check for remembering account like there normally is.

KarishmaTiwari-MSFT 20,212 Reputation points Microsoft Employee2023-04-20T17:43:01.3666667+00:00 @Sand, Martin Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A.
To enable the option to remember the account when logging in to Azure Virtual Desktop using the Remote Desktop client, can you try following these steps and let me know the results:
- Open the Remote Desktop client on your Windows computer.
- Click on the "Show Options" button to expand the login window.
- In the login window, select the "Advanced" tab.
- Under the "Connect from anywhere" section, click on the "Settings" button.
- In the "Gateway Settings" dialog box, click on the "Use these RD Gateway server settings" checkbox.
- Enter the RD Gateway server name and tick the "Bypass RD Gateway server for local addresses" checkbox if applicable.
- Click on the "Save As" button to save the settings as an RDP file.
- Save the RDP file to a convenient location on your computer, such as the desktop.
- Double-click the saved RDP file to connect to the Azure Virtual Desktop. When you connect to Azure Virtual Desktop using the RDP file you just created, the Remote Desktop client should remember your login credentials, and you should not have to enter them again the next time you connect. Note that this solution is specific to the Remote Desktop client version 1.2.4157.0 and may not apply to other versions or clients. Additionally, it is important to ensure that proper security protocols are in place to protect any sensitive information used for login credentials.

Thanks for the quick reply, but I don't think this would work for me. I'm not using the built in client. I'm using the one you can download from here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/whats-new-client-windows. There are no options for "Advanced", "Connect from anywhere", etc. there. See attached photo. I think you're referring to the client on the right, and I'm using the one on the left. -

Hayden Slee 0 Reputation points2023-05-10T05:20:28.0133333+00:00 I have the same issue, we want our users to be able to use local credentials. Presently each time they click on our published applications it requires windows credentials. Is there a GPO or setting in the Azure Workspace to use local credentials to logon?
