Sometimes a view requires you to enter a database user name and password. If you have access to the database you should enter your Username and password into the appropriate text boxes. If you select the Remember my password option you will be automatically logged in each time you look at the view. Your log in information is stored encrypted on the server so you will be automatically logged in even between browser sessions and when accessing the view from multiple computers. This is convenient when you have a select number of views that you access all the time.
Note: Administrators can restrict whether to allow users to remember database passwords. If you are an administrator, refer to Server Maintenance to learn more.
At anytime you can clear all of your own saved passwords so the next time you visit the server you will be prompted to enter your user name and password. For example, if your user name and password change you will want to clear the saved passwords so you can begin logging using the new credentials.
Click your user name shown at the top of any Tableau Server page.
At the bottom of the page is a Personal Options section. Click the Clear button to clear all of your remembered passwords.
Note: Administrators can also clear all saved passwords on the server.
