Disabling Auto-Complete for PRTG Login Name and Password

PRTG Network Monitor provides the option to disable the automatic completion of Login Name and Password by your web browser on PRTG’s login page. You can set up this security enhancement with a registry key option to turn off automatic filling of the login form.

If you apply this registry hack, the result will be the following:

• The browser will not ask again if the login credentials should be saved.
• The browser will stop filling out the login form also if the option to save the credentials has been set before.
• The browser will not suggest usernames anymore while entering the login name.

Note: This reghack does not work with Firefox browsers.

2. Create a new DWORD:
   1. In the current subkey, right-click to open the context menu.
   2. Choose New | DWORD Value.
   3. Name the new value LoginAutoCompleteOff
