Additional info

The work around is for the user to go to Settings, under their profile icon, and then External Storage, after which they may enter and save credentials.

@cyberfarer don' you see the browser authentification modal?

[skjnldsv]

@cyberfarer @anthochamp @JSchimmelpfennig are you all using chrome (or chromium) ?

[cyberfarer]

Hi. Thanks for investigating. I use Firefox. If I used Chrome it was likely to test with another browser.
