Description Arusekk 2020-12-09 14:31:01 UTC 
SUMMARY

When trying to access an FTP server, password dialog does not show, an error message appears instead ("local password server inaccessible" I guess, because it is a localised message).
The logs show "Can't communicate with kiod_kpasswdserver (for checkAuthInfo)!" twice and then "Can't communicate with kiod_kpasswdserver (for queryAuthInfo)!" also twice.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install latest kate (20.08.1) from Microsoft Store
2. Open File Browser tab on the left
3. Enter ftp://ftp.dlptest.com/ in the URL bar (or any other URL normally prompting for password)

OBSERVED RESULT
Error box appears.

EXPECTED RESULT
Password prompt appears.

There is a workaround to enter ftp://admin:password123@example.com/ of course, but this does not solve the issue.
