Bug ID: 514181
Summary: Allow entering sftp password without local password
server
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version First 25.08.3
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist

SUMMARY
When I try to use sftp, I get an error saying "Communication with the local
password server failed". I'm guessing that similarly to
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=489409 dolphin is trying to save passwords
in places again where I really don't want it to. I'm suggesting that when
dolphin has no access to whatever wallet or store it is trying to access here
without me asking for it, it should just prompt for the password directly and
not store it. (That seems like a sane default behavior anyway.)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Somehow end up in the situation where the local password server that dolphin
likes isn't reachable (I'm not sure if that's kwallet or something else,
kwallet should be running here so I'm not sure what exactly is triggering this)
2. Try to use sftp
3. It should prompt for a password but with no remember option.
OBSERVED RESULT
Error message "Communication with the local password server failed" is shown
and it's not possible to use sftp.
EXPECTED RESULT
Sftp still works and it merely doesn't allow me to save the password, which
seems like a bad idea for my situation anyway.
