First off, the Password is stored in an obscured format. If your
password was the word 'password', it would be stored in the XML as
something like 'V14IA4U54DAEG76V6EG1CX35'. This will stop casual
glances from revealing much.
However, anyone with a copy of Dabo will be able to extract the
original from that, since the tools are all available to everyone.
Therefore, we strongly suggest that you change your app's Crypto
property to your own class; as long as that class has an encrypt()
and a decrypt() method, the app will use that instead of the default
SimpleCrypt that ships with Dabo.
