# Microsoft RDP is unable to store passwords on the local computer

In a Microsoft RDP session, you want to store the password on the local computer. However the "save password" button is grayed out.

{% hint style="info" %}
This setting may have been set by a group policy. If you find the value but do not know the reason why it is set, a Domain Administrator may have set it. We do not condone bypassing corporate policies.
{% endhint %}

### Solution

1. Click on Windows ***Start***, type ***R*** un and open the app.
2. Type ***regedit*** to open the registry editor and ***allow*** the app to make changes.
3. Navigate to **HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services\DisablePasswordSaving** key and change the value to 0.
4. In Remote Desktop Manager, ***Open*** the ***Properties*** of the RDP session and validate that the ***Store password locally*** is activated and that you have text in the ***Host*** field.
