Password security on Ovpn community
Hello,
From what I've seen so far, clients password are stored in the windows registry of their current user.
Is it safe to have it this way ? If any of my users has a virus, can the hacker get back their Windows account ?
We would love to link the password with Windows Hello. So the connection would be more secured and the user would normaly not have to enter any password.
Do you think it is posible ?
Thanks for replies.

The reason to use a password is to force user interaction.

Yes, windows hello force interaction since user has to identify with his footprint.

Re: Password security on Ovpn community
For clarity,
are you asking about Openvpn-Connect for Windows
or OpenVPN-Community Edition with the Openvpn-GUI

I am talking about OpenVPN-Community Edition with Openvpn-GUI that we linked with Azure Active Directory. So our users need to authenticate with windows account. We certainly don't want any leak of this password and we would want to be sure that it is secured.

Re: Password security on Ovpn community
I have moved this out of the Openvpn-Connect forum.
Then the correct approach is to force your users to enter the password manually.

Re: Password security on Ovpn community
When you install Openvpn, there should be a custom option to disable password saving.
