| + | If you are using password authentication, you can enter your password directly on [[ui_login#session_settings|Login dialog]]. Otherwise, WinSCP will prompt you once a server asks for it. You will be prompted again if you enter invalid password. Also note that most of the servers will "prompt" for a password when you use invalid username, not to allow an attacker to learn if the particular account exists. | ||

| + | You can opt to //Remember password for the session// to avoid getting prompted for password again [[security_credentials#password_memory|when reconnecting or opening additional connection]]. The option is available only if you have opted not to remember the password by default in [[ui_pref_security|preferences]]. | ||

| + | When authentication with [[security_credentials#storing_password|stored password]] (if any) has failed before, the prompt will include //Change stored password to this one// check. Use it to overwrite stored password with a new one. | ||
