Description
I'm experimenting with using ECR https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docker/issues/869 https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docker/issues/2033.
Is there a way to configure the settings for a repository after it's added? I.e. username, password, etc.
I'm obtaining a temporary password for the ECR registry with aws ecr get-login-password and using the username AWS.
Currently I'm forced to manually disconnect from the ECR registry and re-add the registry URI so I can re-enter the username and password.

Research direction
Start by tracing the connected-repository configuration flow in the VS Code extension and how registry credentials are stored after a repository is added. Check the existing disconnect-and-readd behavior, including the AWS ECR username and temporary-password case. Done means users can update repository settings without disconnecting and re-adding the registry.
