Hi. For several years I've been connecting to my NAS server through Finder without issue. The login credentials for the server are/were stored in KeyChain Access. Recently I've been having to manually login each time I want to connect. I couldn't see anything wrong with the network password settings (in Keychain Access) so I deleted the entry and logged in again via Finder. Obviously being sure to check 'remember this password in keychain'. The entry then reappears in Keychain Access as expected, but the next time I login it has forgotten the server again.
After some experimenting I've found that when I quit Keychain Access and come back to it after a period of time has elapsed, the entry/device has disappeared. Essentially the login credentials for this server in Keychain Access are volatile and do not persist. I'm on Ventura 13.6.5 and Keychain Access v11.0. I haven't recently updated. iCloud Keychain is enabled but as far as I can tell this is a local login item and not part of iCloud, so that shouldn't be a factor. Any ideas what may be happening here?
Thanks for reading.
