Remote-SSH: Password prompted again when opening a folder

[aeschli]

Testing #6220

Windows
Remote-WSL v0.71.2021121615 (pre-release)
Version: 1.64.0-insider (user setup)
Commit: f93c69659de1a1466bd15e0f1c9f790e73be9208
Date: 2022-01-25T08:42:41.055Z
OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19044

In #6220, step 3, it says that when I open a new folder, I shouldn't get prompted for a password again.

• `Connect to Host... pick my host, enter password get the remote window
• File > Open Folder, pick a folder, window is reopened, trust dialog shows, password input dialog shows

I know I could set up a SSH agent but I haven't done so.

@aeschli in your settings do you have remote.SSH.useLocalServer: true? We have this issue on Windows for appropriately setting useLocalServer: #6147 (comment)

[aeschli]

The Remote-SSH version is now v0.71.2022012519

The settings UI shows this:

so I assume it is set.

I now explicitly put "remote.SSH.useLocalServer": true, but no change. After open Folder I still have to login again.

Would you be able to share your logs for the reloaded window with the folder?

with today's build i see the same (this is the only bug i hit in the flow now, aside from the pwsh issue)

[Xiao-Chenguang]

same issue on my win10 laptop. However vscode on my mac only need password and otp once. Both devices share the ssh setting.
