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 ?

Regards

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.
