Feature Request: User Accounts Configuration similar to MS Remote Desktop

Open danshort opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

I connect to a dozen or more databases for work, and they all use the exact same Windows credentials. When I change my password every 3 months, I have to go through and update all of the database connections with the new password.

Microsoft Remote Desktop has a "User Accounts" configuration, where you can set up a username and password configuration:

Once you have a username/password configured, you can then associate that user account with any number of desktop configurations.

This allows me to change the password in one place for the 30 servers I have configured. A similar feature in SQLPro would make it vastly easier (and less likely to cause an account lockout when I forget to change a server) when I have to change my password.

Thanks - I'll take a look at adding this into a future release.

I'd like to second this request. I have a similar situation, and would definitely benefit from being able to create connection profiles. I write this on the day I had to change my passwords on 14 different connections one by one. 😐

Thank you for the note - having feedback like this helps me to decide on feature priority. I still don't have an ETA, but I will start taking a look into this sooner than later. I've got something large I'm working on now, but this will be one of the things I dig into after that.
