(which means you would be storing your password in plain text in the file anyway) Hmm... No, you'd be storing the hash of the plain text password, and reusing it every time it is required. No plain text passwords would be necessary. However, you say that the hashes change every time for the protocols? That would make it useless. I'm talking in generalities, because if only one protocol uses altering hashes then it's still a good idea. That different protocols use different hashing techniques is largely irrelevant, because you just store whatever the transmitted password is for each protocol. But if all of them use some sort of handshake to change the encoding of the hash each time, then you obviously can't store the hashes.
