Keyboard shortcut for "Use another account" in RDP

Question

When using RDPing into a Windows Server 2008 server, it will often prompt you for credentials before you login. I noticed that tab will skip to the option to Remember my credentials, totally skipping Use another account.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to select Use another account?

I've never noticed that. The "Use another account" option is completely omitted from the Tab order. — joeqwerty, Mar 06 '13 at 16:17
Yeah, that's what I was hoping someone had a kung fu way of doing that. I use RDP a lot I like keeping my hands on the keyboard as much as possible. — Nixphoe, Mar 06 '13 at 16:20

The down arrow.

Also, I think you meant Tab instead of Shift in your post.

Pressing the down arrow key shifts the control for the next user credentials.
