            Bug ID: 454044
           Summary: Add option to unmount an sftp connection
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 22.04.1
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: bygreensky at gmail.com
                CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
After I unlock the connection with my private key passphrase, Dolphin remembers
it and will not ask for the private key again till I log out of my Plasma
session.
Can a button be added to completely unmount the sftp connection so it asks for
my private key passphrase again?
The button could be in the toolbar, or when rightclicking the entry in Places.
An option to unmount after X minutes of inactivity or after Dolphin closes
would be nice to have as well.

It seems like an unnecessary security risk.
And it's just annoying in general, I manage multiple servers that look
identical in the home folder, but never multiple at once, it's very easy to
click on the wrong server in Places and look through the wrong server's files,
just because it was unlocked before.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect to an sftp server by typing a sftp:// link in the location bar
2. Type your private key passphrase
3. There is no way to disconnect
4. Close dolphin
5. Connect to the same sftp server again
6. Dolphin now thinks for a while, like it's creating a new connection?
7. It did not ask for the passphrase this time

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: 5.17.7-arch1-2 (64-bit)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.94.0
Qt Version: 5.15.4

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is possible in the Nemo file manager.
I asked on kde subreddit before I write this but I got no answers. 

I thought it might be the fault of a keyring or a wallet, but I do not see
anything like this running on my system. Additionally, connecting to a second
server that requires the same private key, it asks me to type the passphrase
again, so this leads me to a conclusion it's a problem on Dolphin's side.
