Description Marat Dyatko 2009-12-07 12:12:40 UTC
Guys, can you correct problems with login/password saving finally?!

1. In the last version of Ubuntu my passwords don't saving.
Every time when I click on remote bookmark, I must enter login data again.
I'm check `Remember forever`, but it doesn't work.

2. If I check the `Remember forever` and login data was wrong, login window reload with radio button checked at `Forget password`.

3. If I'm select `Forget password`, I'll never can `Remember forever`

It's very strange behaviours.


I'm register at this bug tracker, because I'm angry.
And thousands other users too.

There's no need to be angry.
This is very likely a bug in gnome-keyring, or some module missing in GVfs.

Do you still experience the issue?
Comment 2 Marat Dyatko 2010-04-12 19:06:57 UTC
Of course, every day

Every day i'm choose 'remember forever' and don't understand why.
It's never save my passwords.
Comment 3 Cosimo Cecchi 2010-05-06 16:56:32 UTC
This works really fine for me. Which distribution are you using? Do you have gnome-keyring packages installed?
Comment 4 Marat Dyatko 2010-05-06 18:03:47 UTC
I'm use Ubuntu 10.04

gnome-keyring:
  Zainstalowana: 2.92.92.is.2.30.0-0ubuntu3

`Remember forever` has not worked for me at all (10.04), I have to enter my password every time when connecting to my smb network device (between restarts). 
gnome-keyring installed (2.92.92.is.2.30.3-0ubuntu1.1)
So, so angry :-)
Comment 6 Cosimo Cecchi 2012-05-03 04:23:38 UTC
This has definitely worked fine for a while now.

I am using ubuntu 12.04, 64 bit
I have a synology disk station which uses NFS shares
I think there is some sort of time out issue with the tokens.
I try to mount the share, it requires user name and password.
I select remember forever.
It works fine for about an hour or so (not sure how much time exactly, but its rougly a good estimate), then I try to access the files again and it asks me the password again.
Comment 8 kopolov 2012-11-12 18:31:27 UTC
I can repeat the bug.
I mout my Synology disk station and check "Remember Forever".
I make sure that the password exist in the "Passwords and Keys".
I restart the machine (logout might be enough?).
login and try to remount the Synology disk station.
I am prompted for password again even though I make sure that the password is indeed set in the password manager.
