Foliate doesn't retain OPDS credentials between sessions

[Nitrousoxide]

Describe the bug Foliate fails to retain the OPDS credentials for my calibre server, even after selecting "remember my credentials" between sessions.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Catalogs
2. Click on my user defined calibre server
3. Input my calibre credentials, selecting to save them.
4. Successfully browse and download files from my calibre server
5. Close and restart Foliate
6. Go to Catalogs again and attempt to browse my calibre server's OPDS server
7. It asks for credentials again.

Expected behavior Foliate should retain credentials between sessions and not require the user to re-input them if they select to save them.

Version:

• Foliate version: 2.6.4
• OS/Distribution and version: Fedora 35
• Desktop environment: GNOME 41.3
• Installation method: Flatpak

I also have the same problem with my calibre server and foliate (flatpak). Does somebody anything how to fix this?

To reproduce, open Foliate v2.6.4 from the terminal (installed from flatpak, on Ubuntu server Jammy in my case with no desktop environment, only i3wm) then open the "Catalogs" tab:

I wonder if my user account needs to be a member of some group? (I recently installed Zoom flatpak, and that did not work until I added the audio group to my user). My user is currently member of the following groups:

$ id taha
uid=1000(taha) gid=1000(taha) groups=1000(taha),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),29(audio),30(dip),46(plugdev),110(lxd)

I hope these observations helps someone more knowledgeable to understand what exactly is the problem.

It seems that this is specific to Flatpak.

Without Flatpak, WebKitGTK silently fails to save credentials if I don't unlock the keyring. So probably this bug is due to WebKitGTK not using the secret portal in Flatpak.
