#8 [2.5/NT] Proxy password not asked

[Anonymous]

On 2.5 beta 567: the proxypassword pop that used
to appear on launch when running feedreader is not
appearing anymore. I can't use the software since I
need to authenticate to go through the password.

There is a workaround to this. I'm using build610, so I don't
know if it works in 567. Each time you shut down and restart
feedreader, you'll have to do this to enter your proxy
password:
Go to Properties, Connection tab. Simply click OK (no
changes necessary), and the password dialog box will pop
up. Enter your password and you're good to go.

problem:
On 2.5/610 the proxy password is only asked, when I leave
the properties dialog (so on initial setup, but not on normal
use).

solution: check the proxy-password on startup or on 1st
connect

additional: the proxy-password is displayed in plain text. use
a password-bot therefor.

Same thing.

You can use the software, though. Go to Options and setup
proxy settings again. It will help till you will need to restart
application. Bizzare !

hi!

you can workaround that issue on v2.5 build 610 as follows:
create a reg_sz value named "ProxyPassword"
in HKCU\Software\Feedreader\Properties
fill in the desired password...
disadvantage: its plain text :-(
