Description m.wege 2013-07-18 19:36:31 UTC 
I have some feeds in my feed list which from time to time turn password protected as such or some single posts are posts are password protected. This is normally changed back to normal within in 1 or 2 days. But while this exits, there are two annoying problems:
1. It appears that Akregator halts the feed refreshing until I answer the authentication.
This is really bad and annoying, because 
2. Since I do not know the password (and do not really want to know it), I can not get rid of the dialogue permanently. Or the only way to do this would be to remove the feed (which I do not want, since the problem is fixed normally within in 1-2 days). 

So it would be great, if there was a kind of checkbox in those authentication dialogues [x] ignore authentication request permanently and then that feeds are still fetched while Akregator is waiting for the users response to the authentication box.

Reproducible: Always

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of akregator (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
