Prompted to Enter Password for Jupyter Server on VSCode Launch

[snowyday]

I'm encountering an issue with VSCode where I am prompted to enter the password for the Jupyter Server every time I launch the application, even when I do not open any notebooks.

Here are the details of my setup:

Operating System: macOS Sonoma
VSCode Version: 1.88.0

I am using Jupyter on a remote machine, to which VSCode connects for my workflow. Regardless of whether or not I interact with any Jupyter notebooks, the password prompt for the remote server's Jupyter Server appears with each launch.

This behavior is consistent and reproducible on my end. I am looking for a way to either bypass this password prompt upon launch or a method to fix this so that the prompt only appears when I attempt to access a Jupyter notebook.

Any assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Same with VScode 1.90.2 (Universal) on macOS Monterey. I also notice that the prompt pops out even after reloading any extensions.

Same here as on Windows 11, VSCode 1.90.2.

Does anyone know if there's an actual issue to fix this behavior?

I have had the same problem everytime I opened VSCode if, in addition, a py-file was opened as well. The easiest thing to do was to delete the list of known Jupyter servers from the “cache”.

Simply press Ctrl+Shift+P or, on the Mac, Cmd+Shift+P and select “Jupyter: Clear Jupyter Remote Server List”.

At least for me, the message was then gone.
