The reason for not using saves sessions, is that when the network goes down, WinSCP can reconnect unattended with a pre-entered password.
...while I could never imagine
not using Saved Sessions, I did some testing...I never knew if you entered the password on that dialog, before connecting, it would "keep it around". So far, I've always been double-clicking on the Saved Session, typing the password (cuz I don't save the password in the Session), then I click Open Terminal & have to type the password again. During testing however, I selected a Saved Session, clicked Edit, typed the Password in that box, as if I was gonna save it to the Session, but then pressed Enter (aka Login)...that allows me to "login automatically" without typing the password 500 more times. Nice.
So, some requests...
- Can you have the "Password Prompt" (what you get by double-clicking a Saved Session that doesn't have a password) have a checkbox that would do it the way I described above?..."keep the password handy"
- Maybe have a Session setting for the above "Keep password handy" checkbox...(so the default state of the checkbox can be a per-Session setting)
...I don't wanna save the password in the Session, but I also don't wanna, select it, press Edit, type the password in that box, then press Enter. I want to double-click, type the password there & not type it again for that Session.

See Set defaults button...
...ah, I guess that'd do it. One Question: is there a way to undo "Set Defaults"? Get back to the
real defaults?
Speaking of "Reset to Defaults"...is there an easy way to "Reset the Toolbars to Defaults"? Previously, I really screwed up my toolbars (because they are not locked by default), then I dug into the settings/registry & deleted (backing up of course!) the settings related to toolbars, that made it worse, instead of not finding the settings & using defaults, it really messed it up more (this was a while ago, so I'm trying to remember). Then I deleted the whole key about toolbar settings & then that did reset it (so not finding the registry key = reset, finding blank toolbar info/not finding a registry key's value = wonky). In general, I accomplished what I wanted, to "Reset the Toolbars to Defaults", but it wasn't easy.
So, more requests...
- Can you Lock the Toolbars by default?
...&/or...
- Have a really easy way to Reset them?
Also, is WinSCP.ini the default settings location now? I started with WinSCP 3.8.2 & I guess it defaulted to the registry & every version since seems to be keeping the registry default (I know I can change that radio button to the ini, but I haven't yet).
