Prevent Saving Browser Passwords (IE.Chrome.FF,Edge)Params,ss
Summary
This is a new version of the Prevent Saving Browser Passwords (IE.Chrome.FF) script.
This script currently supports Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, and Edge and will lock those browsers from prompting to save passwords by making changes in the registry.
It provides an option to enable the Password Saving Feature for the concerned browsers as well. All you need to do is set the @Enable_Password_Saving_Feature@ parameter to 1.
There's an additional feature available to remove/delete the currently saved passwords for these browsers. To activate this feature, set the @Remove_Saved_Password@ parameter to 1. By default, this option is disabled because the concerned browser must be closed/terminated in order to remove the password.
Sample Run
In the above screenshot, the Password Saving Feature for the browsers will be disabled for the computer. Additionally, currently saved passwords will be removed, but the concerned browser will also be closed.
