Description rlk 2019-08-26 19:31:39 UTC

SUMMARY

When attaching an encrypted removable device, the device manager always prompts for a password even if it's stored.  The password is filled in, so all I need to do is click OK, but I'd like at least an option to simply mount the device using the stored password and only re-prompt if it fails.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Attach an encrypted device with the password already remembered. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Receive a prompt for a password, with the password field filled in so I have to click OK to continue.

EXPECTED RESULT
At least an option to not have to do that (the prompts are hidden since I use high focus stealing prevention).

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Framework 5.61 and OpenSUSE Leap 15.1; everything else appears immaterial.

Reminder about this bug, filed about 3 months ago.

This is a real annoyance.  I've saved the password for the disk in my kwallet for a reason; there's no need for it to prompt me when I attach it.

Reminder about this, it hasn't been addressed or even commented on.  There should at least be an option to attempt to mount an encrypted disk with a stored password without a prompt.

Solid has no maintainer, and volunteers look at (real) bugs before looking at minor things or wishlist tickets. Feel free to investigate and propose a patch.
