It's great being able to easily grab remote server logs over SFTP and SCP, but I am dreading the day when I have to change my password. As far as I can tell so far, I will need to change my password for each separate server. 

It could be very helpful if I could save a set (or several) of credentials, and then for setting up a server, just select the set of credentials from a drop down menu (or create new).

I also concur and would like to extend the idea of using SSH key-based authentication (the `-i` option to scp). This could help work around the issue above where I may just need to update the SSH key instead of needing the change the password for each server.

Thank you!
