The Prob­lem

The prob­lem is il­lus­trat­ed with­in the top­ic Can't con­nect to a Win­dows 10 ma­chine through RDP in Lin­ux at Su­per User. In short: When you are try­ing to use Rem­mi­na to log-in in to a Win­dows ma­chine with Win­dows' ac­count Remmina's au­then­ti­ca­tion di­a­logue keep ask­ing for user­name and pass­word.

This prob­lem doesn't hap­pen when you are us­ing a lo­cal Win­dows' ac­count.

The So­lu­tion

In my case the sim­plest so­lu­tion was (source): Log-in in to the Mi­crosoft Ac­count on the tar­get ma­chine with the Pass­word (not PIN or fin­ger­print) to the Mi­crosoft Ac­count once. Af­ter that, I can RDP in­to the ma­chine by us­ing the cre­den­tials of the Mi­crosoft Ac­count with­out er­rors.
