No option to Save the connection for future logins

SUMMARY
Dolphin won't allow to save NAS password anymore after Plasma 6.2 upgrade

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. A working NAS connection is present in the Dolphin "Remote" section in the file explorer  
2. Click on the NAS (the name of my smb connection) entry
3. Provide NAS username and password (Option to save credentials is not available anymore)
4. Access NAS successfully
2. Restarting the computer and attempting to enter the NAS again would cause dolphin to ask for user credentials once again

OBSERVED RESULT
When ending a user session with Switch off, Restart or Log out buttons, the NAS cannot be accessed anymore unless the username and password are once again re inserted

EXPECTED RESULT
The first time the NAS smb connection is made and added to dolphin, the Save option should be available so that in future NAS login, the user does not need to provide login credentials once again.

I'm not able to replicate this on KDE Neon, KDE Neon Testing or another system with git-master running Solus

I assume the username on your NAS is different than your username on the system you took the screenshot on? From my testing, I am always prompted for the remote system login, but the values are pre-populated if I have chosen to save the password

Notably, I always see the "Remember password" checkbox option in the authentication dialog
On KDE Neon Testing, the dialog I see is identical to what you see, except in your screenshot you aren't seeing that checkbox

Do you have any plugins for Dolphin installed (through Settings - Configure Dolphin - Context Menu)?
If not, do you see the same thing with a new user?

Testing:
Booted the VM
Connected to a Samba share I hadn't connected to before
Entered credentials with "save password" checked, verified I saw the shared folder contents
Rebooted the VM and connected to the same share

Observations:
- If the username for the Samba share is the same, I am not prompted for a login
- If the username is different, the login prompt appears. 
  The password is pre-populated
  On User Neon (not Dev) My username (not the share username) is pre-populated in a drop down that also has the other username listed (On Neon the correct username is populated in a text input)
  The "Remember password" checkbox is present and checked
