N1 VPN remember password option - NOT AVAIVABLE
Any way to get around it?
I have to enter VPN password every time when I need to reconnect,
and there is no option to save password.
if you go to code google, Issue 4369, that issue is discussed, and it's hopeless!
any other way? anything at all?
Thank you.
really?! no solution?
Its more than likely a security measure.
If your phone ever got stolen, they would be able to VPN into your work network as well.
so there is no way? I mean editing source code? is it really hard?
no one else cares?
you should be able to set a master password that you have to enter whenever using a VPN, therefore you can store all the complex passwords on the N1 and just enter one master password when you need to connect.
major pain in the ass my vpn password is long.. need to have an option to save..
Hello people!
My university Wi-Fi uses WPA2 Enterprise for security and we authenticate using the following settings:
EAP Method: PEAP
Phase 2 authentication: MSCHAPV2
CA Certificate: Thawte Premium CA
and identity and password being our student credentials.
Now, I got this setup running by installing the required certificate exported from my windows machine and using THIS tool.
When I install the certificate, I set a password for the secure credential storage and enter the password to enable credential storage.
Now the problem:
Only on RAM builds, the OS seems to forget that I've already setup the credential storage before and asks me to set a new password for it. Also, the phase 2 authentication does not seem to be set (even when I set it to use MSCHAPV2, the selection returns to blank after I close settings).
Any way to solve this issue?
Any help is much appreciated,
Thanks!

thanks, btw auto restore stuff is checked..but it didnt work
You can always try to unlock it via :
http://www.samsungdive.com/DiveMain.do
It should let you unlock your phone remotly without reset, as you have setup a samsung account.
Do try and post feedback if working or not with unlock pattern.
Good luck
thanks..nope..it doesnt buddy..i tried samsungdive..it asks for recovery password and thats it!!!
mmmmm....
So to setup your exchange account (to be compliant with your company) you had to setup your phone with unlock patern or PIN pattern. It should also had a "device administrator" (try to see in the settings menu, If it is right) to let your company network admin to remotely wipe everythings. So this password recovery might been set by him from the server side. Ask him if he had setup any password for remote wipe or anything else.
Good luck

yeah..you are right..and i tried callin my IT hep desk..and she just says use your email password, which obviously dint work..by the way app suggested by dr.ketan is good..but im a bit late..
Ok,
I know for sur that your IT has the option for PIN unlock pattern enforcement.
You could always ask to setup again a PIN from their side and use it as your unlock "way". And the device administrator password is alsmost for "sur" not your personnal password from your company ( except If your network admin know all your password and set the same for the device administrator wich sound/is quiet strange).
But almost for sur this recovery password is set from your company side from exchange (ask them to go to the server AD and right click your user, and in the exchange/email tab their should be a "remote device" option or such tab in wich all the options, enforcement and password specific for your account and his phone/remote device access)
Goold luck

and from it for password recovery:
Use Outlook Web App to recover a device password
In Outlook Web App, click Options.
Select Phones from the Navigation Pane.
Select the mobile phone from the list.
All mobile phones the user has configured for Exchange ActiveSync are displayed in this list. To determine the correct mobile phone, use the device name and the last synchronization time displayed in the list of devices.
Good luck

I tried outlook weboption..here is wat i have.
no option to view password .
Manage your mobile devices here.
You can remove devices that you are no longer using. If you forget your device password, you can access it here. If you lose your phone or mobile device, you can initiate a remote device wipe to protect your information.
To add a new device, begin a partnership with Microsoft Exchange from the device and it will appear in the list below.
Remove Device from List... | Wipe All Data from Device...
hmm..thts because..
Display Recovery Password (Windows Mobile 6 only): This option allows you to access your device if you've lost or forgotten the password. To unlock your device:
Press Menu, and then select Reset password.
The device will alert you that you must select a new password and supply a recovery password, which you can find in OWA. Once you have accepted, create a new password, and then press OK.
The screen will tell you where to find the recovery password and provide a space to enter it. Enter the recovery password, and then press OK.

Let me tell you this. I also have my corporate email account set in my Note, but instead of using stock email app I am using Touchdown.
That way the corporate does not have any access to you're full mobile, it is restricted to Touchdown.
The regular screen lock is the typical Android function.

I tried to add a new IPSec VPN profile today and after saving the preshared key I was prompted to enter the Credential Storage password, which I have never setup. Anything I enter fails; I can keep trying indefinitely and it never prompts to reset credential storage.
Looking in Settings > Security > Credential Storage shows Storage type is "Backup to hardware" and not changeable and Clear credentials is also grayed out.
Why can't I create local credential storage secured by my own password with this device?
EDIT: So I found the workaround, but not really an answer to the credential storage issue:
http://www.pocketables.com/2014/02/fix-credential-storage-roadblock-android.html
Essentially, Credential Storage forces you to use PIN or Password unlock options only, but you must disable all unlock options first and run something that requests credential storage to enable it. If you set PIN or Password unlock yourself and try to enable credential storage in VPN it will fail. Thankfully I don't need to use VPN from device really so i can go back to Fingerprint unlock, but hopefully this helps someone else in the future.
I've tried it repeatedly, all with same results. Not sure how to resolve it yet

By the way, I brought this issue to both Samsung and Verizon support and their only answers were to perform a factory reset.
Lesson learned: I'm better at supporting my device than the manufacturer and carrier combined.
This is my first ever post to xda so if I didn't post this correctly please let me know. So where I work they have an app that you can use to check your schedule/hours worked etc. For some reason the app asks for the password for the credential storage before I can use it. I had to look that up online because I didnt know there was a password for it and I'm not 100 percent sure what credential storage is used for. I'm assuming stored usernames/passwords for certain websites? Anyways I found out the password is the same as the 4 digit screen lock password. not a big deal on my phone but on the watch it took me to the security settings menu where I set a screen lock pattern. But now I've changed my mind and don't want the screen lock. I have to unlock the screen to see the watch face I have set. My question is how can I access the security settings menu? I can't do it with my work app. It only took me there because I didn't have a screen lock.
