Auto connecting to remote machine

Question

I use Kitty (which is pretty much the same as Putty) and when connecting to machines (for example a server through SSH) is there a way to have it remember my login credentials? I notice it has the option to save, but only has options to specify connection type, host name and port. So can it save the host name and password so I don't have to look it up each time I want to login?

The work flow is like this:

1. put in connection type, host name and port
2. go to data and put in auto-login username
3. put in auto-login password in data tab, or select a private key in SSH->Auth tab
4. go back to Session tab, put in a name in saved sessions/new folder, hit Saved(d)
5. next time, just double click on the saved profile.

I myself find the work flow pretty weird and not the most intuitive, as you need to go to many different tabs and you'll need to go back to Session tab in the end and hit Save(d) to save your edits.
