[log in to unmask]"

I just wanted to report that in no case have I been able to
revert to the passphrase-only prompt after upgrading to the
newest version of PGP Desktop. I have installed PGP with a
valid network connection in every case, and have also followed
the update policy procedures outlined below. Nonetheless, the
PGP WDE prompt asks for user, password and domain.
Personally, this is not a big deal to me, as I prefer this to
passphrase-only authentication.

features and options which we are not planning to implement at
this time. One of the new features is the ability to login at
boot time using a full username and password, rather than a
simple passphrase. While we did not intend to activate this
new feature, we have received at least one report of systems
prompting for this information following upgrade.
Currently we suspect that this behavior is the result of the
PGP Desktop software not being able to communicate with the
management server at "pgpcentral.uvm.edu" immediately after
the installation process. Without a network connection, the
client system cannot get an updated policy, and so it defaults
to the 10.2+ boot prompt behavior of requesting username and
password.
We are in the process of attempting to reproduce this problem
in a controlled environment and will update this list when we
have more information. In the meantime, if you experience
this problem please try this procedure:
- Validate your network connection
- Force a policy refresh by right-clicking the PGP Desktop
system tray icon, and selecting "Update Policy"
- Reboot your system to test the policy update
