            Bug ID: 451481
           Summary: Unable to delete cached webdavs credentials,
                    potentially causing disabled accounts
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 19.12.3
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

SUMMARY
I've previously added a webdavs remote directory targeting Nextcloud in Dolphin
on Kubuntu 20.4.3 using an URI such as
webdavs://user@local.domain:443/remote.php/dav/files/user/.

Since then I've changed my password on Nextcloud, now Dolphin obviously fails
to connect but does not ask for credentials again. The credentials are not
available in the KDE wallet manager. As Dolphin repeatedly attempts to
authenticate with the deprecated credentials, the user account will potentially
be disabled.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add remote webdavs location (such as Nextcloud, e.g.
"webdavs://user@local.domain:443/remote.php/dav/files/user/")
2. Enter credentials and access resource
3. Change credentials on webdavs authentication platform
4. Connect to webdavs resource via Dolphin again
5. Dolphin now attempts to authenticate with the cached credentials and won't
ask for new credentials or allow clearing the stored username and password.

OBSERVED RESULT
Authentication will fail and I am unable to identify a process to clear/delete
cached credentials.

EXPECTED RESULT
Once the authentication fails, it should be possible to enter new credentials
and an option to remove credentials should be available. 

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:  Kubuntu 20.4.3
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 
KDE Frameworks Version:  5.68.0
Qt Version: 5.12.8

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
My online research repeatedly mentions KDE Wallet Manager, with the option to
delete cached credentials there. However, the KDE Wallet Manager does not hold
any related data for me.
