Option to disable all the password stuff #41

For those using adequate OS/machine-level security practices, the dbKoda's password options may be overkill. As another data point, no other MongoDB admin tool I've used forced me to go through the password setup process. On the contrary, in Studio3T you can simply paste a connection URL, and off you go. Some other tools get the string from the clipboard already.

EDIT: this is actually more annoying than I thought. With the Password Store enabled, I've been unable to save a profile's password. I paste the connection string in the URI field, click Test ("Connection Success!"), Save, then Open Connection says "Error: Authentication failed.". Going back to the profile shows the password has been erased.

I don't need or want this level of security at the expense of convenience. I'm using other security measures that have worked very well for me for the past ~15 years.

Very annoying function~

I'll try this again when this feature has been added. The extra password isn't adding any meaningful security and being unnecessarily repeatedly nagged is more effort than I have patience for.
