Remembering Settings

By default, Burp remembers all configuration options when you close Burp down, and restores these when Burp is next run. You can modify this behavior via the following items in the Burp menu:

• Remember settings - These options let you specify which tools' settings should be remembered. You can configure whether any passwords contained in the tools' configuration (for example, credentials for an upstream proxy server) will be remembered, and if so whether they will be encrypted using a master password. On startup, Burp will prompt you to enter the passwords that were not saved, or to enter the master password, as appropriate.
• Restore defaults - These options reset the configuration settings within all or selected tools to their default values.

The options panels throughout Burp have "Restore defaults" buttons that you can use to restore default settings for individual panels.

You can also use the Save and restore state functions to save and restore configuration options. These functions lets you save state files containing settings for particular situations, and restore these when required.
