Every time you adjust the settings of a repository, you are required to provide a password for the user you are connecting as however there is no check to see if the password provided is correct. The behavior is as if it just wants a non-blank entry in the password field. It would be convinent to validate the provided password as correct before the password is written to the configuration.

• It might be even more convenient to not require entering the password if the password isn't changing. I don't see why it should require me to look up the correct password just so I can enter it in the screen when I am not changing anything related to the password. Just my two cents.

• What these guys are saying ^^

• If I understand the request, you are just wanting a pre-commit validation (non-bind validation) of the credentials.
  
  If this is correct we will investigate and I will update this suggestion when we have it tied to a release.
  
  If not - please explain further.

• I believe this was addressed in 6.0. If you are attempting to 'Save' an existing repository, you still must put in the password but it validates it first.
  
  What Chad, Stefan and Mark are referring to is something different.
