Prevent Saving Browser Passwords (IE.Chrome.FF)

Summary

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 by setting the @Enable_Password_Saving_Feature@ parameter to 1.

There is an additional feature available to remove/delete the currently saved passwords for these browsers by setting the @Remove_Saved_Password@ parameter to 1. By default, this is disabled because the concerned browser must be closed/terminated in order to remove the passwords.

Time Saved by Automation: 5 Minutes

Sample Run
