Description
Hi
I'm having some problems with the new authentication dialog of JOSM (v2698). While uploading a changeset I must enter my password several times. Very annoying especially if you have a long password like me.
It seems that I have to enter my password when JOSM
- creates a new changeset -> authentication dialog
- uploads the changeset -> authentication dialog
- is closing the uploaded changeset -> authentication dialog
Regards,
Atalanttore

I am having the same problem, and furthermore the enter key appears not to work to submit the dialog (on Windows and Linux). Earlier versions of JOSM (e.g. before multiple changesets) used to cache the username and password until the program exited. This was very handy. It would be nice if this behaviour could be restored.

Unfortunately, the bug still persists in JOSM version ≧3344.

Works for me. What is wrong exactly and what are the steps to reproduce?
comment:7 Changed 13 years ago by
The authentication dialog still appears three times while I'm uploading a changeset. Exactly the same buggy behaviour as before. Nothing has changed.
The steps to reproduce (uploading a changeset) are also the same as before.

I mainly fixed it because in the applet you cannot save password:

There it works as well for me.

I don't save my password in the program.
In older JOSM versions (~2500) I entered my OSM password only once per upload and not 3 times like now.

Just tested it on a second machine but couldn't reproduce either. Maybe depends on operating system. Please append status report. (Help -> Show status report)

I tried a clean configuration first, and couldn't reproduce it, so I tracked down the problem by diffing the JOSM preferences file: The bug occurs if you have a username but no password saved in your preferences. It must be assuming that there is a saved password even if there is just a saved username.
I can upload a status report if you think it's still necessary.

This bug disappeared out of nowhere as I started JOSM around r3350 the third or fourth time. Since then the authentication dialog works properly.
@bastiK: I wanted to let you know that a while ago, but unfortunately forgotten.

This could be.
I remind myself that it worked the first time as my username didn't appear by default in the authentication dialog. I had to enter username and password once and it worked.

No, I think this is enough info to track down the bug, thanks.

No one interested in this bug report?
Additionally, I want to inform you that I do not save my password in the authentication dialog.
