Hey everyone! I'm seeking some insight into the Defender for Endpoint recommendation about disabling the storage of passwords and credentials for network authentication. I'm curious to know how this change might affect our system as a whole. Has anyone here already implemented this change? If so, did you run into any issues? I've heard it prevents storing account passwords in scheduled tasks, but I'm wondering if there are other potential drawbacks. Any thoughts?

I actually don't see this specific item on my security checklist, but I've got quite a few related ones. I can confirm that related recommendations include disabling local password storage, ensuring passwords never expire, and limiting blank password usage to console logon only. These are all crucial for maintaining security.
Thanks for the info! Which specific recommendations from your list have you applied? Do you have a detailed list you could share?
