Password not required?

#1 Post by blending » 2022-01-07 12:59

When I connect to any of my sites, if I do not type in a password at all it still connects. I noticed this by accident, but this concerns me...
File > Site Manager > [select site] > Connect
I have Logon Type > ask for password ticked, and it does ASK, but just hitting Connect without typing anything in still connects me to my site. Remember is not checked.

I would like it to require a password, how can I do this?

TIA

I'm using a Mac; Filezilla 3.57.0
Also, in Edit > Settings > Interface > Password, I have Do not save passwords selected.

You're probably using SFTP and have your private key used to login loaded in your SSH agent.

Yes, that's exactly it! Thank you.
Is there a way to secure it somehow, so that it asks for the password as well?

You could not use an SSH agent and configure a password-protected keyfile in FileZilla. That way you need to enter the keyfile password when connecting.
