Because unlike the usual saved usernames password feature on your internet browser, Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client use its own browser when you hit the campus VPN and then requires you to manual type your username and password. Doing this frequently can be tedious and I would argue that typing it manually might even be more dangerous than saving on browser (it’s easier to trace people keyboard in the network. I have witness that myself with some old friends as a test)

This method is not originally made by me; I have to give credit to Pavel Eremin who I forked his project from on GitHub. I edited the script to fit the usage of anyone in CMU.
