DepotDownloader not remembering password again (despite -remember-password)

[ZetaTwo]

What did you expect to happen?

Running the following command twice, I expect to only be asked for password the first time:

./DepotDownloader -app 813780 -depot 813781 -filelist files.txt -os windows -username <READACTED> -remember-password -dir "downloads/" -manifest 8448015185409384747 

Instead of that, what actually happened?

Instead I am asked for a password (and auth code) every time

The symptoms seem to be the same as in #397. I have not dug deeper to find a root cause in the code.

Which operating system are you running on?

Linux

Version

DepotDownloader v2.7.1+907b3360ccec0bace6810bca32c8ff0b74ad3273, Runtime: .NET 8.0.8 on Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS

Command

./DepotDownloader -app 813780 -depot 813781 -filelist files.txt -os windows -username <READACTED> -remember-password -dir "downloads/" -manifest 8448015185409384747
