disable_save_passwords also disables to save username now

Maarten

Hi,

I've been using "HKLM\Software\OpenVPN\disable_save_passwords" to disable password caching in the openvpn client. In "OpenVPN-2.6.14-I004-amd64" this option did what the name suggests: not saving the password. But after installing a newer version of the openvpn client now it also doesn't save the username.

"OpenVPN-2.6.14-I004-amd64" works as expected (only saves username)
"OpenVPN-2.6.19-I001-amd64" does NOT work as expected (doesn't save username or password)
"OpenVPN-2.7.0-I017-amd64" does NOT work as expected (doesn't save username or password)

Has this been changed on purpose?

Hello,

I am observing the same behavior on my side and, unfortunately, several users in my organization have started complaining about it.

Does anyone know whether this is a known bug or an expected change?
Is there any workaround to restore the previous behavior?

Thank you very much for your help.

Looks like this is tracked in https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn-gui/issues/809#issuecomment-4225006271 and a fix will be made available with the next release, probably next week or so.
