Issue/Introduction

When using zowe explorer for VSCode it started to save user credentials in the zowe.config.json file. 

Is there a setting like "never save credentials" for zowe explorer?

 

 

Environment

Release : 4.0

Component : ZOWE EXPLORER/VS CODE EXTENSION 2.0.3

Resolution

It is possible to never save credentials back to your OS when using the Zowe Explorer.

If autoStore property is set to false in the team config file (zowe.config.json), it should only prompt for credentials and keep them in memory until the window/VSCode is closed.
