Description (last modified by )
If I want to switch from api.openstreetmap.org/api to some test server while hacking OSM I have to erase my current API host/user/password and put in new values, then repeat this process when I switch back.
The preferences should have a drop-down list of OSM servers and associated users/password that I could switch between. This would help both with switching servers and switching users on the same server.

I believe this same issue affects users who access WMS servers which require authentication. I'm using such a server, and I have to constantly reenter usernames and passwords between downloading images from WMS and uploading changesets to OSM. I would say this is closer to a bug than an enhancement. I'm not familiar with the code for this, but couldn't we just have per host user/pass? This wouldn't solve the problem for users who might try and access different paths on the same host that use different credentials, however I imagine this isn't very common.
