While connecting to a database with "Remember Password" checked and a blank password, the blank password is not remembered. Steps to reproduce: [1] Create a database connection with valid credentials including a non-empty password and with "Remember Password" checked. [2] Disconnect from the database. [3] (Outside of Netbeans) Update the credentials you're connecting with such that the password is now an empty string "". [4] Right click the connection and "Connect". You will be notified that the credentials are incorrect and prompted for new credentials. [5] Delete the password field and make sure that "Remember Password" is checked. Click "Ok" to connect to the database using the correct, blank password. [6] Disconnect from the database. [7] Right click the connection and "Connect". You will be again notified that the credentials are incorrect and prompted for new credentials. The password field will have "*" characters indicating that it is still attempting to use the originally remembered non-blank password. Expected behavior is that the blank password is remembered after step [5], and the connection works without having to enter credentials at step [7].
