Re: Save username only and prompt for password

What's the trick? I just tried it with the newly-posted 2.4 RC1, which I see in the release notes has "Support for username-only auth file," but when I removed the PW from my file and tried making a connection, I got the usual immediate "Connection has failed" (same as what I get with 2.3). The log reads "Failed retrieving username or password."

Somewhere a while back I read that the end of the auth file needs to have a blank line, but that didn't work either.

RC2 is out now. No change.

@TiTex, still waiting on you to clear up specifically how it's done.

There's some other variable, because that's how I've been trying it. It quickly comes back with the error I mentioned a couple message ago.

There is some other variable because it works fine if done correctly.
