Impossible to save CIQ credentials in Linux SDK

In the docs "Connect IQ Basics | Getting Started" (https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/connect-iq-basics/getting-started/) it says:

"The SDK Manager can remember your credentials or you can re-enter them every time. Select which option you prefer and press Next"

On Linux (CIQ 4.1.4 and 4.1.2):

  • I don't see an option to remember credentials when starting the SDK manager manually
  • There is nothing related to remembering credentials in SDK manager "Preferences"
  • There's no option to remember credentials when they are requested via the simulator either

While developing an app I want to be able to check app properties in the simulator:

  • I go to "File | Edit Persistent Storage | Edit Application.properties data"
  • I then get prompted to enter my credentials

This happens every time I launch the simulator. It's excrutiating --- I'm currently trying to learn about app properties so making lots of edits to my code. Every edit I make requires me to enter my credentials again before I can see the results.

I'm not sure if I should file this as a bug, so wanted to check if I'm missing something obvious.

Is this behaviour the same for anybody else on Linux?

Am I looking in the wrong places for the option?

Am I doing something else unusual/wrong?

Thanks
