      Problem Statement/Rationale

      I want to have saved connections, with the various parameters there - except the password.  It should then prompt for a password when I try to connect.  Most other DB clients support this.


      Passwords for client systems are maintained in an enterprise password manager.  They should not be saved anywhere else, so i can't save them in MongoDb Compass...  But i want the rest of the connection criteria saved.

      Steps to Reproduce

      Try to save a connection as a favourite without a password - no error but not saved

      Try to remove password from a saved connection and save - get an error that password must be supplied

      Expected Results

      I expect to be able to save the connection without the password.  I should only need the password when opening the connection

      Actual Results

      Try to save a connection as a favourite without a password - no error but not saved

      Try to remove password from a saved connection and save - get an error that password must be supplied
