Description
Hi, great to see a well made open source file manager.
I would like to request a toggle button to opt in or out the app saving the password when adding remote storages like SFTP. I would like to avoid the app saving the ssh pasword and have to instead reenter it each time I access the remote server. This is feature that I liked in Solid File Explorer that I used previously.

Research direction
Start by tracing the add-remote-storage flow, focusing on how SFTP passwords are currently saved and retrieved. Define where the opt-in toggle appears and verify that opting out prompts for the password again whenever the remote server is accessed, while opting in preserves the existing behavior.
