The stored secret is never echoed back (security), so on reopen the blank password field
read as "not configured" / "it forgot my password". The login DOES persist (single
HostCredential row, kept across reloads); only the modal was ambiguous.
- when configured, show a green status: "Configured as <user> — password is stored. Leave
blank to keep it; enter a new one to change it." The Remove button + gear stay, so the
operator can still change the password or switch access.
No behaviour change — set once, stays until changed/removed.
