Modify VPN account password under Windows 8.1

Windows 8.1 RTM has been released to Microsoft MSDN/TechNet subscribers in advance, and there are many changes and improvements as a whole. The tip to share with you today is how to change the VPN account password under Windows 8.1. Since Microsoft has designed a new start and operation interface for the system since Windows 8, which aims to provide a better operating experience for touch, you will find that some traditional desktop operations will interact closely with the new Win8UI, such as This article is going to mention the VPN.

Creating a VPN in Windows 8.1 A common practice is to go to “Network and Sharing Center through the network icon in the system bar at the bottom right corner of the desktop, and then set up a new connection network”, select “ Connect to the workspace &, then follow the wizard to complete the setup.

After the VPN is created, Win8UI will be automatically popped up (formerly called Metro, then renamed to Morden, quite confusing! This is called Windows 8 user interface, referred to as: Win8UI). Here you can choose a VPN to connect. Even if we double-click the VPN connection in "Adapter Settings", the same will be switched to this network bar.

When the user makes a VPN connection for the first time, the account password will be required. Once the connection is successful, you do not need to enter the account and password again in the future. However, when the user needs to change the account password to connect, you will find that you cannot start! I can't find a place to modify it. In the past, the edit button was displayed when I right-clicked on the connection in the network bar, but I didn't have this setting under Windows 8.1.

To change the VPN account password at this time, you need to enter Win8UI's "Computer Settings", that is, the mouse moves to the lower corner, and the "Super Button" appears in the sidebar and clicks “Settings”.

Click “Change PC Settings” in the settings sidebar.

After entering “Computer Settings", select “Network”.

After entering "network", you can see the VPN connection we created earlier in the connection, and select the item to be modified for editing.

After entering the VPN connection editing option, you can see the "Connection Properties" and you can change the username and password.

Afterwards, integrating traditional desktops and touch interfaces is a long-term task, and I hope to see more reasonable details and improvements in the future!
