How do I stop Kitty from doing naughty AutoRelogin after resuming from Windows Sleep? I recall my Putty...

I recently switched from Putty to Kitty (on windows7) and now I notice that after Windows Resumes from Standby/Sleep that it Automatically logs me in again.
I see in the SSH kitty shell window:



Using username "myusername".
myusername@myip's password:
Send automatic password


I have configured KITTY to use files instead of Windows Registry and am using the kitty_portable.exe binary. I have logging enabled but I always have "OMIT known password fields" CHECKED. So I would like to know WHERE is my PASSWORD being CACHED? And how can I disable this feature so that my password is no longer cached? Under Connection->DATA there is nothing set for Auto-login username and when username is not specified its set to PROMPT. Auto-login password is also NOT set. So would appreciate any help to disable password caching.

  • I'm running with the only thing in Kitty.ini is savemode=dir and I don't see any passwords or password hashes inside any of the session files.

You can disable password auto saving.
Add these lines to your kitty.ini configuration file (it should in the same directory where your kitty.exe is):



[KiTTY]
userpasssshnosave=yes
