Hey Florian,

I'm on QT 5.5 (Arch Linux).

I don't have examples for my timeout problem, but the ones I've observed
are Windows web servers which initially present an NTLM challenge (work
garbage) and then fall-back to basic. I'll see what I can figure out
when I'm back in the office.

A userscript sounds perfectly fine for my password situation (until
plugins are available) so I'll take a look at adapting that one to my
needs.

As an aside, how should desktop notifications work from my perspective?
I answer "y" when an application requests access, but I don't seem to
see any notifications and refreshing the page requires me to enable
again.
