Extension Manager password for TER lost or not needed
0%
Description
After updatting sites to 3.6.0 the EM displays the following warning before connecting to TER:
"You have not configured a repository username/password yet. Please go to "Settings" and do that."
However, it is still possible to login to TER and download extensions (without entering a user/password). Either this information is still stored somewhere or not needed anymore

You only need to enter this information if your ALSO want to see member extensions.
Or are you able to download member extensions without entering a password?

All publicly available extensions are displayed and can be downloaded.

This is an installation that had be upgraded from 3.5.0 and had a username/password stored before

So the bug is that the Passwords get lost on an update?
Because it had been possible to download publicly available extensions without username or password for all times.

If the download was always possible w/o password, then the bug is indeed that the username/password setting is lost during upgrade.

I have updated quite some sites from 3.5 to 3.6 series. All my sites kept the TER Password.
Are you aware that the TER Password is BE-User related? If you added/chenged the BE-User the TER-PW is not there by default, the "old" user hwoever keeps it

I noticed the behaviour on some but not all of the sites I updated. Maybe some random issue. Not a severe problem anyway, so I suggest to close this bug.
