Describe the bug

Image

The meaning of "Leave blank to not store." is difficult to decipher. What does "not store" mean? What happens if I already have a user ID or password set and I clear out the textbox and press enter? Do my credentials get removed?

To Reproduce

  1. Right click on a profile node.
  2. Select "Manage profile".
  3. Click "Update credentials".

Expected behavior

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS:
  • Zowe Explorer Version:
  • (Optional) Zowe CLI Version:
  • (Optional) Do you have secure credentials enabled?
  • (Optional) Are you using a custom credential manager?
