Windows Security (In windows 7) keeps asking for my credentials, and won't "Remember my credentials"

I'm not the network admin, but my network admin is having trouble solving this as well.

My issue is exactly as the title says...

Windows Security (In windows 7) keeps asking for my credentials, and won't "Remember my credentials"

Even if I check mark the box that says "Remember my credentials", I'll eventually be prompted to enter my credentials again.

I am an administrator for this computer.

Please let me know if there's any other details I can provide! enter image description here


I was able to find the solution at this forum

Essentially go to the Windows Vault (Store credentials for automatic logon), and edit the credentials there.


This is a issue with your Windows Credential Manager. Moste likely because your credential manager have wrong entry with and old password or if it was selected to be disable.

Write Credential Manager at the start menu and open it. Check if it is allowing save password and if it is delete all the entries saved and try again. If it's not allowing to save password it's possible that it is setting from a domain groupo policy and your network admin should check it.

None of these aforementioned methods solved my Win7 remembering credentials problem. However, after many trials, I discovered that the problem was caused by the remote device's computer name coinciding with one of its local user names! I changed the computer name to something different than all of the local user names, then entered my remote credentials and enabled "remember my credentials" once again. After that Win7 never asks me again to logon for access to the remote computer.
