Hi

In Kenya, we have people often sharing computers. With JOSM, this causes an issue, because people forget to change the saved authentication credential to their own. You can choose to not save credentials, but this then leads JOSM to ask for them on every single API call, which is basically unusable.

JOSM remembers the credentials for one session, even if you choose not to save it permanently. Please report a bug (including used version) if this is not the case.

Is there a solution to this? Ideally, login/password would only be stored for a single session.

So you like to have an (advanced) option to not show the "save user and password" checkbox in the credentials dialog?

Would be a great help to us in Kenya!

There is another option:
 * Create links on the desktop, on for each user.
 * Change the link from
        java -jar .../josm-tested.jar
   to
        java -Djosm.home=.../josm-user1 -jar .../josm-tested.jar

(Replace "..." by the path to the preference folder for user1 and the path to josm-tested.jar respectively.)

This will keep the preferences for each user in a separate folder.
