Every time I reboot the computer KopiaUI fails to connect with message:  
“unable to open repository: get password: password prompt error: The handle is invalid., will keep trying until canceled.”

If I remove the “repository.config” file and re-enter the appropriate credentials the connect succeeds.

Any suggestions how to solve this issue?
