Allow user name to be saved in a cookie with LogMeIn Central Host Preferences
Deploy settings allowing client-side users to save their Windows user name in a browser cookie. As a result, users will only need to enter a password to authenticate when connecting from the same client.
Host Preference Packages can only be applied to Windows hosts.
Who can use this feature? The Host Preference Packages feature is available to any Account Holder of a LogMeIn Central Base account. For those Account Holders who have not switched over to a Base plan yet, a LogMeIn Central Premier or Plus subscription is required. Users of such accounts also need the Configuration Management permission.
This option is selected by default (cookies can be saved). Revoke this permission to force users to manually enter a Windows user name when connecting.
