It’s a touch tedious to have to enter a password for VNC every time I open it. I tried some online advice to do this without success. Is there some simple method?
TIA,
Harry
Have your tried adding the password to the URL?
E.g.
http://zynthian.local:6080/vnc.html?autoconnect=true&password=opensynth

In tightVNC you can save session as a VNC file and then you only have to click that
(windows)
I should have been more specific. I prefer to launch the VNC session(s) still from the Interface tabs in the Zynthian configuration window to go directly to UI or Engines. One site suggested the command vncpasswd could be used at the terminal command prompt to permanently set the password for all future launchings but this did not seem to work. It’s been a long time since I used the Linux command line regularly and I’m probably overlooking something obvious to the regular user. Thanks for the suggestions though.

I tend to put it on a bookmark on my browsing machine I use to look at vnc…
That way you can use :
http://zynthian.local:6080/vnc.html?autoconnect=true&password=yourpassword
Which is more secure.
I did put a Feature request for this to be the default mode if the password hadn’t be changed from opensynth on the basis it’s a publically known password but it does produce a conflict between what you should do and what you might prefer to actually do.
