Hi,

I have the username and password saved for my newsserver, but Password Manager
prompts for a new username and password for each group.

For example, although in Password Manager I see:

news://anewserver.com:119/#password
news://anewserver.com:119/#username

I also have:

news://anewserver.com:119/a.news.group#password
news://anewserver.com:119/a.news.group#username
news://anewserver.com:119/another.news.group#password
news://anewserver.com:119/another.news.group#password
[etc.]

I have just one username and password for anewsserver.com.  Why does Password
Manager not use that for each group?  It is very annoying to have to enter the
same authentication info on a group by group basis.

Thanks,

Ian
