Saving Passwords

As far as I can tell, there is no way to set up a connection without having remoter save the username and password. Is it possible to have the connection (ssh in my case) ask for a password when connecting rather than saving it so that anyone who picks up my iPad can log into my machines?

Forgive me if there is an obvious answer to this. I've had trouble finding it and the search function on these forums doesn't like the word "password" :(

Please tap on "Advanced" in the session editor for the session in question. Then scroll down to the "Advanced" section, and select "Request XXX Password" (XXX being VNC, SSH, RDP, etc, depending on the session type). You can then remove the password from the password field. You will be prompted for the password on every connect.

Hope this helps,
Raf.
