We don't ask to add any new fields to the Quick Connect.
It could be done simply by adding a "Custom..." or "Specify..." item to the credentials dropdown (just like you can select "None"). If you select this, you'll be prompted for username/password that is used when connecting.
Two reasons not to use the Advanced method:
1) It means we need to save EVERY login to the database. We don't want to do this, since some logins are only used once (fx when testing for a particular customer account). We have roughly 10.000 customer accounts...and can safely say that we DON'T want all these created in the database over time. We want the options of ad hoc credentials.
2) See below - I think that says everything
Using Advanced
1) Press "Quick Connect"
2) Type computername
3) Click Advanced
4) Select Credentials
5) Select Personal credentials
6) Press New
7) Type name
8) Type username
9) Type domain
10) Press OK
11) Press OK
12) Close Quick Connect (because the new credential don't exist in the list yet - and isn't applied if connecting)
13) Open Quick Connect again
14) In Credentials browse the credentials and select the new credential just created
15) Press Connect
Proposed method:
1) Press "Quick Connect"
2) Type computername
3) In credentials select "Specify..." (could be using a shortcut-key)
4) Press ENTER
5) Type/paste username
6) Type/paste password into popup
7) Press OK to connect
See the difference?
