It would be extremely helpful to have a list of saved database connections, because currently one has to enter all the credentials anew when one switches between remote databases.

A related request: the default behaviour of jabref is to open the tabs from the previous session, but it doesn’t apply to shared database connections, which is IMO inconsistent.
