Comment:

 It's not possible for me to use a different username as I'm not in control
 of the server. Having an ftp user account with the username anonymous and
 a specific password is a valid use case (it's not a smart thing to do, but
 it's a thing that you can do). As it stands, Cyberduck blocks the user
 from bookmarking an ftp site that is set up in this way for no valid
 reason.

 To be clear, I'm not attempting to perform an anonymous login, I'm trying
 to log in as the user "anonymous" with a specific password. Cyberduck
 prevents me from entering a password for the user "anonymous" and I have
 no access to any other user accounts on the server, so there is no way for
 me to bookmark this server in the current version of cyberduck

 > For anonymous users by default login will either work without a password
 or any password.
 It's not an anonymous user, it's a user with the username "anonymous"

 > Use a different username if the password matters.
 I can't, I'm not in control of the server. While the use case is unusual,
 it seems valid to me and I'm surprised to see the bug report discarded so
 readily.
