Open Stack

We had a short discussion and decided to implement this feature for 5.1 in
this way:

   1. Do not store credentials at all even in browser
   2. Do not implement specific handling of auth errors
   3. Make the form hidden by default; it can be shown by clicking a button
   4. There will be a short description

It will look like this:

I think we'll change the button text to "Provide Credentials" and the
description to "If you changed the credentials after deployment, you need
to provide new ones to run the checks. The credentials won't be stored
anywhere.". Your suggestions are welcome.
