Hi Chip,

I know, sorry if I sounded rough. I’ve had a few message with Tim Penner at 4D 
about this today and there are actually 2 Tech Tips that relate to this topic. 
Once you find if you search “remember password” and another if you search 
“mdp”. Each returns a different Tech Tip, but not both together. 

I searched “remember password” and got the one about ".4dlink” files. This is 
what you are talking about. And it is all true and accurate.

But the other Tech Tip — if you search for “mdp” — talks about the same subject 
but for built applications because they do not use “.4dlink" files, they use 
“.mdp" files.

So now we have the complete story, just in 2 pieces. Tim may create a 3rd Tech 
Tip that combines all this info and is keyword indexed so that you can find it 
by searching several ways. And now the iNUG has this knowledge stored for us.

So with your code example and my code example the next poor soul should have a 
much easier time dealing with this issue.

And maybe someday, just maybe — 4D will add another build app XML key that will 
“remove remember password” from the login screen and this will be just another 
oddity in the world of 4D. 

And, of course, you can avoid all of this if you build your own login screen 
and abandon 4D’s. But that’s a whole new can of worms to deal with that I’ll 
leave to others to discuss.

Tim
