Clear password on F5 Host does not work.

[jeremy-church1]

When I right-click on a host and choose "clear password", next time I click on the host, it will not prompt for a password and will continue to connect with the incorrect password. Usually locking my account for a period of time.

What I've tried that hasn't worked: Clear password, deleting the devices. Then adding them back. Clear password, deleting the devices, then adding them back via JSON containing the correct password in a password field.

Usually it takes some combination of clearing the password, deleting the devices, then closing and re-opening VS Code.

A "set password" option that immediately prompts for, and then writes the password to cache should work around this issue as well.

Thanks

Thanks for opening this. I will be looking into this soon.

I have implemented a "clear all passwords" command, but also need to rework some of the logic when connecting and detecting a failed password.

I see similar issue in the below version

Vscode version: 1.67.1 and F5 extension version: v3.7.1

This bug is causing my account to get locked in BIG-IP due to excessive retries with a bad password. VS.Code reports this error message: Error running command f5.clearPassword: Unexpected token G in JSON at position 0. This is likely caused by the extension that contributes f5.clearPassword.

Thanks everyone. I will be releasing a fix for this next month. Sorry for the delay.
