Working SFTP Flow stops working

Hello guys,
I keep having problems with running desktop flows. Suddenly existing and working flows encounter FTP connection errors.
To fix this I always have to re-enter and save the passwords for the SFTP connection. They then work again for a certain period of time.
Why? What's this crap?

Have you edited the flow or imported new version of the flow to the environment when starts to give the FTP connection error? Maybe you have edited the flow on different user account and there for locally stored password will not transfer over and it will forget the password. The new user or machine cant open the decrypted password at that point. So its for security reasons.

To fix this use Environment variables that has the sftp credentials in it so it wont forget the password when you move the flow to a different system/user/environment

Neither nor. The flow suddenly stops working. Then I edit the flow, re-enter the PW, save and then it goes. User is always the same.
