When connecting to a Kerberos authenticated MongoDB deployment using Compass, we must supply the password from the Compass UI. Ideally, Compass should use the context of the logged in user and hence a password should not be needed unless a different context/user is needed to connect to the MongoDB deployment.

This is how "kerberized" applications usually behave, and while the current implementation works, it's unusual and unexpected for users used to work in a kerberos environment.
