Donut is adding a key management function. I was planning on waiting for that to
remember things like this.

Good idea, any idea about when it will be released and how to use that function?

I do think that method will be a memcache like function, just store as 
key/value and 
hash by package name also permit used by that package.

Please add this feature.  We are not allowed to use public key authentication 
but we 
are allowed to save passwords.  This would make life much easier.

I understand waiting for the functionality to be partly coded already, however, 
it
may be worth coding for some of the older versions. Phones like the Cliq 
shipped with
1.5 and many providers/manufacturers are being very tight lipped about any 
updates
now that 2.0 is out.  Its possible they won't provide upgrades and thus those 
users
would otherwise be locked out of a very nice function. Something to consider. 
Still a
fan either way myself.

A useful addition would be to save the last remote directory along with the 
password.. 
both passwords and directories tend to be long and it is a royal pain to retype 
them.. 
thanks.

Please add this feature for the automatic reconnect.

This is possibly the most useful app on my Nexus One already, but if it could 
remember passwords too?
That would make it the best app in the market as far as I'm concerned.

Add one more for saved passwords

And another!

Probably the only thing that makes this app kind of awkward to use. Difficult 
passwords are hilariously easy to mistype on a virtual keyboard, and when the 
user gets locked out after 3 attempts...

I have to agree with this request. Virtual keyboard + Fail2ban = bad news.

It would be enormously helpful to be able to store auto login information with 
hosts in Connectbot. In fact the way PuTTY Connection Manager for Windows 
handles this functionality would be a perfect way to do it under Connectbot IMO.

Thanks

I implemented the cytown diff changes in my personal fork of this project 
(available at my github). It's become stale now though because of having too 
many changes that won't cleanly merge with later versions and me being lazy. 
However, it does seem like it sends something invalid the first time. A friend 
had a problem using it where he put a temp-ban after one failed attempt and it 
failed even before he could enter the password. Other than that it seems to 
work fine though. It stores the passwords in plain text in the sqlite-database 
however so it's not exactly secure. The Secure Credentials storage does not 
seem to have been updated much since 1.6 and is still pretty much undocumented 
so some custom functionality like this is still a good idea.

I recently found out that this feature is available in a knock-off app called 
Connectbot-pslib. Works great for me. :)

The connectbot-pslib (fork?) does not do this properly and is broken; the usual 
keyboard-interactive authentication still requires a password. I am in the same 
boat as other users; ssh keys are either not supported or conflict with the 
security architecture.

When this feature is implemented, please ensure it works in 
keyboard-interactive mode.

This would be a good addition - I appreciate there are security risks with 
saving passwords... but it really should be up to the user to make this 
decision. Excellent product!

How is this still not implemented yet?

Excellent function to be added.

I don't get it.  How mqnu years does it take to add this feature?  Isn't there 
someone that still maintains the app?  I'm just looking for a simple ssh client 
on android that can port forward and authenticate automatically.

I also would like to see a password saving feature for automated connections.

Yes, pls add
