Description

### Impacted plugin

Scan

### What

Add a prompt to add server credentials, so users don't scramble to do it when they actually need to run the auto-fixer.

### How

Add a prompt adapted from the VaultPress Backup **Add your server credentials**.

Right now for Scan, it shows nothing. The prompt only comes up if there are threats and the user wants to run the auto-fixer.

| Scan page | Fix threat |

Research direction

Start by locating the Scan page and comparing its current empty state with the VaultPress Backup “Add your server credentials” prompt. Trace the existing auto-fixer credential flow and use the screenshots and reference prompt to determine where the new prompt belongs; it is done when Scan prompts users to add credentials before they need to fix a threat.
