"Import Database" assistant may require password to access source or destination server but it does not ask. Then connection error appears, and e.g. for MySQL there is a hint from the server "Using password: NO". Reproducible: Always A simple workaround is to in the current Kexi session, click Edit for desired database connections. Then enter password. There is no need to check "Save password in the shortcut file" -- Kexi will keep the password for the current session only. After Save button is pressed, the connection can be used and password will be properly sent to the server upon import.
