Description Chihin Ko 2010-01-18 18:14:14 UTC 
I checked "Remember Password" when setup a new remote host A, later on I decided
to disable it.

Problem 1, there is no such choice in Development Hosts Manager | Properties...
so I Remove the remote host A, and recreate a new remote host A, but without
"Remember Password" checked this time. 

Brought down IDE, brought up IDE, without reconnecting with host A, I build
project on host A immediately, IDE should ask Password
but it didn't, this is problem 2.

It seems there is no way that I can remove my password remembered by IDE.

It seems not to be a bug. To remove stored passwd you just need to remove remote host from the list in Development Host Manager. When you add the host next time you'll be asked for passwd.

One shouldn't have to "cycle" things in order to reset state.
One shouldn't have to accomplish things by "side-effect".
It is preferable to have explicit GUI for things.
In that sense this is very much a bug, a usability bug.

Also Remove acts very strangely ... One can remove a Host from 
the host list but then it magically comes back (because of references
in projects). So did it really get removed? What properties 
got lost and which ones need to be redone? It's way too magical.
Comment 3 Chihin Ko 2010-01-19 21:58:14 UTC 
I can still reproduce problems. Even with removing host A in host list, that was exactly what I did when I file this bug. 
  

There should have a check box in Development Hosts Manager | Properties...
for showing status of "Remember Password" and for check/uncheck "Remember
Password".
