I'm also not sure how it could be reliably encrypted, given that it would have to be decrypted at run-time and the algorithm (and salt, presumably) would be open-source.
The other way to do it would be to add a user-defined "master" passphrase (entered at run-time) to unlock all of the encrypted passwords, assuming there are many. Exactly like Thunderbird/Firefox's Master Password. Etienne On Fri, Nov 16, 2012 at 4:43 PM, Jürgen E. <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Giovanni, > > On Fri, 16. Nov 2012 at 17:17:28 +0100, G.
