I'm tired of typing in my password everytime I restart LabVIEW. I'd like a checkbox to allow it to be stored to disk.

Ah, the ancient and eternal tension between security and usability.

This might be nice as an option, but it's easy to make yourself (put a VI that reads the PW's and store them in the PW cache in the project directory).

 

Problem with letting NI do it, is that there might be different ways to store those PW's. Might be hard to please all flavours...
