![Screen Shot 2021-04-25 at 05.57.12](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/kinsta/original/1X/bd3a1c176fb18f7b553e0bc20a39a1da06395c01.jpeg) Is what i found this morning as I attempted to update plugins. I’m running MacOs 11.23, DevKinsta 1.1.5 (1559), Desktop Docker 3.3.0 (62916). This is the first time " Connection Information To perform the requested action, WordPress needs to access your web server. Please enter your FTP credentials to proceed. If you do not remember your credentials, you should contact your web host." has shown up. Please advise… P.S. I’m a non-programer so please be explicit with any coding request. Thanks. ---
