SSRS Update Data Sources always reports "The password is not valid. Please retype the password."
<p>On SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard edition whenever I try and update Data Source credentials via the Report Manager I cannot save the changes as it reports the message </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>"The password is not valid. Please retype the password".</p>
</blockquote>

<p>I've looked online and someone thought it could be related to a known issue in Chrome.  Unfortunately I've tried Chrome/I.E 11 and Firefox and they all report the same issue.  I am choosing the "Credentials stored securely in the report server" option.</p>

<p>Has anyone any idea to work around this?</p>
