Connection Dialog when migrating from 7.X to 8.X

[ads42]

Hi,
now my app updated to 8.X always ask me to write the password in the connexion dialog instead of keeping it written (but masked).

How to avoid this ?

Hello,

We have removed the ability to store password for security purposes. If you want to store password, you need to implement your own descendant class, which stores password where you need - in registry, ini file, etc.

Bad idea… you should have at least added it in option since the password is still stored in the DFM even in a protected string.
Why not adding a new property like KeepPassword ?
What event should I use to fill automatically the password in theConnection dialog ?

We have changed ConnectDialog behaviour. Now, in case the SavePassword property is enabled – an encrypted password will be saved and loaded from the registry. All these amendments will be included in the new version of the product.
