Bug Description

My backup goes to an smb share. I had to change my password for that computer.
Instead of asking me for a new password, deja-dup refuses to make backups saying
'Operation not permitted'.

I tried to reset deja-dup, but it still remembers the old password.
I deleted ALL passwords in 'Passwords and Keys'.
I deleted the folder ~/.cache/deja-dup.
I ran dconf reset -f "/opt/gnome/deja-dup/"

Please note that my backup is not encrypted, I'm talking only about the password to access the smb share.

Where is the password stored?
How to delete it?
Feature request: When deja-dup encounters wrong credentials, it should ask for new ones instead of just saying 'Operation not permitted'.

Additional Information:
lsb_release -d:
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

dpkg-query -W deja-dup duplicity:
deja-dup 34.2-0ubuntu1
duplicity 0.7.06-2ubuntu2

The log is empty.

Tomorrow morning Déjà-Dup asked me for a password. I guess it just needed a restart.
