            Bug ID: 489409
           Summary: "Remember password" checkbox state isn't configurable
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 24.05.1

SUMMARY

The "Remember password" checkbox state when mounting any encrypted device
should perhaps either reflect last used state, or be configurable, for security
reasons. It can be unsafe in some environments to remember the password for
removable encrypted devices, so this prompt showing up and then always having
"Remember password" pre-checked with no way of stopping that can be a risk when
handling such removable devices a lot. Sadly, neither does this checkbox seem
to reflect what I last used nor can I find anything in the dolphin options to
change it not to be checked by default as to avoid accidentally using it.

Is there a way to disable this mechanism entirely? Maybe if I uninstall KDE
Wallet for now?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1.  Access encrypted removable device in Dolphin
2. "Password" dialog pops up, "Remember password" is pre-checked

OBSERVED RESULT

I can't find a way for not making "Remember password" pre-checked every time.

EXPECTED RESULT

There's a way to disable this default state. E.g. if it remembered what I last
used, that would already be enough since then I just need to be careful the
first time and then it'll be fixed for follow-up uses.
