Auto-Login without SSO?

Is there a way to store credentials for Minecraft Education Edition other than using SSO?

For instance with Steam we can put the user/pass into the shortcut as a switch, other games we can create registry keys and another app we can do it in credential manager. We have the PCs locked down pretty well through GPO so we're not worried about the kids seeing the stored passwords.

Thanks

  Never mind I got it working. In case anyone else comes across this and needs to know.

  The workaround was to use the /runas and /savecred in the shortcut target line.

  Example Target for shortcut:

  C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /savecred /user:mydomain\accountwithlicense01 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Studios\Minecraft Education Edition\Minecraft.Windows.exe"

  On first run it prompts to enter the licensed users pass then after that it's stored in credential manager. Then the kids can run with licensed accounts without being prompted for credentials. After that MEE will pull that users SSO info.

  Ahhh, this is interesting to me! I have several different logins, as well as several different tenants (the domain names on the emails) and it gets a bit messy since the update. I am curious to take advantage of these helpful details! Thanks for the info!

  Upvoted! =D
