Hi there,
What additional package is needed to let thunar remember the password of remote locations?
When I tick the checkbox `remember forever` [1], the password is not remembered on reboot.

Thank you!

Perhaps you need gnome-keyring. Try running thunar from a terminal and see what the output is when you try and save a password.

There's no debug mode that I'm aware of. Have you tried installing gnome-keyring and rebooting?

Thanks. Thunar indeed requires gnome-keyring for storing the passphrase permanently. Odd.
Does it make sense to have gnome-keyring added as an optional dependency to the thunar package?

Glad that fixed the issue. As for the dep issue, I think it depends on what actually produces that password dialog. From your pic it looks the password box is a gksu dialog. If so then perhaps gnome-keyring should be an optional dep of that instead. I guess you would need to ask a TU.

I finally found out. gnome-keyring is an optional dependency of gvfs and referenced through libsecret: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/38984#comment119629
