Feature Request: Password Prompt

[peterlaursen]

I have moved your topic to the correct category.  It is a SQLyog question – not a MONyog one.

Now I think your proposal overlooks:

1) there may be different passwords for MySQL and SSH/HTTP(S) with authentication, so a single password prompt will not do.

2) user may one day decide to save a password he originally chose not to save. If we just open a prompt as you suggest the option to change this will not be available.

But I think that this “have to look at ANOTHER prompt asking me if I want to save my connection settings, and click no” should not happen if the checkbox 'save password' is unchecked as nothing of what is saved is changed.  Are you sure it does?

And btw: Please always tell your program version.  We did rework this lately (from your point of view it may be to the better or the worse!).

Good point. Although I'd guess there's still a better UI solution than having to switch tabs and find the password field each time. But if the issue below is resolved, this would be much less annoying.

I just tested this right now, and yes, I always see the prompt to ask if I want to save my connection settings.
