What steps will reproduce the issue?
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22000.493]
WSL 2 kernel version 5.10.60.1
Ubuntu 20.04
IntelliJ 2021.3.2 running inside WSL 2 as a GUI app executed as a standalone (/opt/<idea-dir>/bin/idea.sh)
Installed the Gerrit plugin for IntelliJ
2. Set an http password for Gerrit. Click Test - connection is established successfully.
3. Close the IDE from File -> Exit
4. Open the IDE again (/opt/<idea-dir>/bin/idea.sh). Click Test button again - the credentials are no longer valid and you get http 401 unauthorized.
Seems the stored password is different.
What is the expected result?
Gerrit plugin should continue to work without having to re-set the password
What happens instead?
The Gerrit plugin no longer works and one has to manually re-set the password and click Apply.
Once the IDE is closed and opened again (doesn't matter if done immediately or after i.e. 5 hours) - the password setting is lost again.

@mdzhigarov: Can you please check our password settings in IntelliJ settings? Have you enabled persistent password storage?
Actually, that's exactly the issue. Thank you @uwolfer for the help!
I had no idea this thing existed
