What issue do you have?

I'm new to Joplin - imported all my evernote notes to joplin and setup the syncronisation with my NextCloud server. Everything looks good on both computer I use now but I have this error/warning again and again in the log of one computer:

Could not set setting on the keychain. Will be saved to database instead: sync.6.password:

ok, I hope I've found the reason for that log error... I've tested two/three sync targets before I've choosen to stick with my NextCloud and it looks like one sync target (although all input fields were deleted) still was in my settings.json file

So I can delete these two lines, save and shoud get rid of that error, correct?

[Isaac]

sadly not the solution - after a new start of Joplin (without these two sync.6 lines in my settings.json) I have again and again the above mentioned error in the log
