How to save username and password in edge when used in kiosk mode?

Question

I'm running kiosk mode on windows 10. It launches edge with a preconfigured website.
This website requires authentication, but I don't want to share credential to users, so I'm looking for a way to save credential in the browser. How can I do this? Thanks

Answer 1

Hello, Thank you for posting in Q&A forum. Currently it can only be configured in Edge. To achieve this purpose, you can try to delete the credential saved first and then turn password saving off, in this way the user will not access the edge with credential saved. 1.Select Settings and more > Settings . 2.Select Profiles > Passwords 3.Turn off Offer to save passwords. Hope this answer can help you well. Best Regards, Hania Lian

So I just had to do something like this, and I wanted to share what I did as a way to remember.

1. Download Chrome as Edge will function as In-Private browsing
2. Create an account and setup auto login
3. Sign in to that account so a SID can be created
4. Create a string name "Shell" in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon (This will replace explorer.exe)
5. Modify the value of the string to something like "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -kiosk "https://urltowebsite"

That should allow you to save username and password using Chrome's password manager.

Make sure to change the power settings and windows updates for the kiosks.
