Putty remember username

Question

I'm using Putty to connect to a box using a private key file.

I'd like to type the passphrase every time, but I don't want to type "ubuntu" every time for "login as:"

How can I get putty to remember the username, but not the password?

Answer 1

You can simply save the host or ip address field in putty as ubuntu@ipaddr.

Answer 2

The option to enter a username is somewhat hidden in the Connection --> Data tab.
You can save a username in either your default profile or for a specific session.
