Could we get a unique ID from the computer, and encrypt the password using that ID? That way, if you send that config file to another user, it can't be decrypted. Maybe we could use disk label / uuid, or network card mac address or something like that.
If you change the computer id, the password won't decrypt, and it will just be forgotten. What do you think? I would code it, I just don't know what would be the best ID. > I know it's not always true in *THAT* case, but with amsn it's not.. it's > can't be an md5 hash (which is a one > way encryption) simply because we need to send the password to the msn > servers, so we need to be able to decrypt > it, so it's a two way encryption with a key, so knowing the code, you should > know how to decrypt it from > config.xml files...
