Take the tour ×  There is a strange problem i'm seeing when
using remote desktop. I have passwords stored in notepad (yes, I
realize i have passwords stored in notepad). When I copy/paste
the password from notepad to RDP login, the login fails. When I
type the password, the login works.  I am not getting any spaces
or extra charactors when copying (verified by using a hex
editor). The password is exactly as I type it (not replacing 1
for I or anything like that).  After I have successfully logged
in, I can logout and then paste the password from notepad and it
will work. I don't know how long before it will stop working
again, but I've run into this many times.  Any ideas? I've also
had this happen when logging into sharepoint.    • Windows 7,
lastest updates   • AD Domain (there are no policies)
share|improve this question Am interested in A) How you verified
no extra spaces/characters made it into the ?clipboard? with the
hex editor?, and B) Where you are pasting the password after
login and then logout? –
