Describe the bug
On MacOS when using an s3 connection through a bookmark without defining access key or secret, it does grab the key from the credentials file, but not the secret. Is that intentional or could it be fixed?

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create valid credentials file in ~/.aws/credentials with a default profile.
2. Add a bookmark to cyberduck with empty access key id and secret access key.
3. Attempt to connect to bookmark and see that it is asking for a secret access key even though it's in the profile.

Expected behavior
Secret access key is picked up from the credentials file

Screenshots

Additional context

According to the documentation ¹ this should work. As a workaround edit the hostname of the bookmark in Server to preset the default credentials from the ~/.aws/credentials default profile.
