When I navigate to a sftp url and set the inserted credentials to remember forever, I cannot change the username for this connection.
Example:

The username has changed for this hostname and I want to 'forget' this connection

Please see #108. pcmanfm-qt doesn't control SFTP, SMB, etc.; it just mounts them.

In spite of what was written at #108 several years ago, I don't see this as a bug but if someone makes a PR, it'll be reviewed.

Sorry for commenting on this closed issue.
I also don't see this as a bug.
More like a feature request.

I only just now realized I just have to delete the entry from the keyring.
Maybe some info/hint text in pcmanfm-qt that this is stored in the keyring would be helpful?
Especially for inexperienced users (like myself 😅)

Sorry for commenting on this closed issue.

It's OK.

EDIT: The original issue isn't closed.

Yes.

I don't think pcmanfm-qt/libfm-qt should control special cases like this — hence my lack of interest in making a patch — but a small patch that is guaranteed to work with all systems would be welcome.
