    <thetext>Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Actually on System Settings there is the &quot;windows shares&quot; module which allow to set the default username and password used for browsing samba shares.

This sound a bit unuseful to me: KDE use kwallet for remember username/password, it could manage even the username/password of samba shares.

Moreover this module doesn&apos;t allow to access to multiple samba shares with different account, because you can set only one username/password. Instead, dropping this module and using kwallet will allow it.</thetext>

    <thetext>Using Dolphin from KDE 4.4 (Ubuntu 9.10 PPA repository)

The smb password from &quot;windows shares&quot; are never used when trying to access a smb share. The password are asked again and again instead, even when checking the option to save it.
Once logged in, the password is asked again every time you access that share to each folder you browse. The password is also asked again even if you refresh from the same folder where you already sent the correct password.

I also can&apos;t open files from smb shares, because the password isn&apos;t asked when opening files and the password from &quot;windows shares&quot; is not used, than I get access denied.</thetext>

    <thetext>Git commit add32b76659879ac2f31f93248154f50cd3b8bd7 by Harald Sitter.
Committed on 02/10/2023 at 13:52.
Pushed by sitter into branch &apos;kf6&apos;.

smb: drop KCM

it is no longer supported in kf6 because it is both a security risk and
screwing with authentication attempt counting on the server side.
