Feature Request - Allow the admin console to save logins

[carl-edalex]

Could we have the admin console save logins for each configured host. The normal username/password prompt would be auto-filled in this case. And if we wished to login as a different user, we'd just fill in the new credentials to override whatever have been saved.

Not sure if we can store the password securely, or even pass it to the launched code securely. Could definitely pre-fill the username box though

Yeah we'd sort of have to weigh it up:

1. Store in plain text - such as various other system type tools do (thinking maven, docker, aws cli, etc); or
2. Do an encrypted store with master password (for key derivation) - which we could then further extend later to integrate with native OS credential providers.

Personally, I just went to this repo to file the same issue. Even if logins can only be stored in plain text, I would like to have this feature as an option, perhaps with a suitable warning so people make informed decisions. I sign into our admin console almost every day so the extra step adds up.
