RDP Security

  • Article

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) no longer saves passwords on the device. This is different from the behavior of RDP on Windows-based desktop platforms that save the passwords in protected user profiles. Not saving passwords on the device prevents unauthorized user access by anyone who breaks the password protection.

Default Registry Settings

You should be aware of the registry settings that impact security. If a value has security implications you will find a Security Note in the registry settings documentation.

For information on RDP registry settings, see RDP Registry Settings.
