Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Actually on System Settings there is the "windows shares" 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'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.
*** Bug 142016 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Using Dolphin from KDE 4.4 (Ubuntu 9.10 PPA repository) The smb password from "windows shares" 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't open files from smb shares, because the password isn't asked when opening files and the password from "windows shares" is not used, than I get access denied.
I can't find it in the setting. Was it removed?
It's in System Settings > Connections > Windows Shares
Closing old bugs
This is something we still want to do; re-opening.

Pushed by sitter into branch 'kf6'. 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. https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14326#c3 for context M +0 -1 kcms/CMakeLists.txt D +0 -14 kcms/smb/CMakeLists.txt D +0 -126 kcms/smb/kcm_smb.json D +0 -119 kcms/smb/smbrodlg.cpp D +0 -41 kcms/smb/smbrodlg.h M +0 -2 smb/kio_smb_auth.cpp M +0 -1 smb/kio_smb_config.cpp M +0 -30 smb/smbauthenticator.cpp M +0 -3 smb/smbauthenticator.h M +0 -2 smb/smbcontext.cpp https://invent.kde.org/network/kio-extras/-/commit/add32b76659879ac2f31f93248154f50cd3b8bd7
