Configuring when using Windows is painful and needs to be done manually - not intuitive/no tools

[nitaym13]

The Bug/What needs to be fixed:

On our docs, the process is presumably very easy, and after installation, in order to Connect to your JFrog environment, simply "click on the green Connect Connect button" and enter credentials.
However, when using Windows, nothing happens when clicking on the connect button and we cannot add the URLs and credentials.

To Reproduce
Try to connect after downloading the JFrog plugin on Visual Studio Code when using Windows 10.

Expected behavior
Clicking on the Green Connect button asks you to enter credentials.

Versions

OS : Windows 10 Business
VS Code version : 1.71.1
JFrog SaaS : "version": "7.42.2",
"revision": "74202900",
"Xray" : "3.55.2"

Additional context
It seems the issue is because at the time, Windows had a bug that didn't allow storing/retrieving Xray/Artifactory credentials from the credentials helper.
However, now maybe the solution will be to migrate to the built-in SecretStorage.

Current Workaround
Can manually config the credentials as environment variables:
JFROG_IDE_URL=
JFROG_IDE_USERNAME=
JFROG_IDE_PASSWORD=
