Mon Feb 14, 2011 6:29 pm Because the "remember password" functionality is time limited (don't know exact limit but it is not hours, think it's more like 10 minutes(?)). Not sure it can be "fixed", but as it was designed this way for security purposes it is not broken. OpenSuse Leap 42.1 x64, Plasma 5.x

Note that this is a security vulnerability since anyone who gets on your account will be able to do whatever you allow here.
