AFAIK, that is correct, Tobi.

I would have to agree that the problem is in the Connection editor, and more specifically, the manner in which it handles passwords.

As I reported earlier, when Saving the connection properties, I got an error, "Cannot store passwords on desktop KDE5: No wallet
found" even though "Remember password" was not enabled. That option seems to have no effect.

It is not an error that there was no wallet found. I don't use one. So, there should be a fall-back for that, IMO.

But even then, after I have entered the password and it is set in the editor's password field, the application is still unable
to connect.
