Steps to reproduce:

  1. Subscribe to a caldav calendar on a given server, using the caldav discovery dialog.

  2. In the credential model, tick the "Remember my password" checkbox.

  3. Subscribe to another caldav calendar on the same server, still using the caldav discovery dialog.

Actual results:

I was again prompted for a password, although mine had already been saved.

Expected results:

Thunderbird should have tried to discover the available calendars using the existing password matching the server and the username.

Sorry if I'm bothering you Magnus, but can I do something to help get this bug to CONFIRMED state?
Or maybe this bug report becomes irrelevant with the new account hub coming (and then, may I ask if it this hub is planned for 115)?
If not, maybe it should be linked to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1789966 as enhancement?

The account hub changes are not really backend, so I wouldn't think there's any impact.

I don't know why password wouldn't be reused. For calendars using OAuth (e.g. google) the previous creds are used.

I can confirm the inital description. It prompts for a password regarless if a username provided.

I opened bug #1922207 that is related.
