Does the Password Manager always use your current Windows user to authenticate?

Netwrix Password Manager uses Integrated Windows authentication. By default for Local Intranet zone there is a setting to logon automatically using current credentials.

There are two options to force prompting for credentials:

  1. Move Helpdesk portal to the Internet zone.
    To do it, go to Control panel - Internet options - Security tab. Select Local Internet zone, click Sites and remove the Helpdesk portal URL. Click Ok and then disable Automatic detection of local intrnate sites.
