That's also what I thought, but it's not as bad as one would think.
See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=806500 for details

Not encoding the password means that any user application can fetch it 
and send it to the internet even if ~/.config is chmod 700.


Can anything be worse?

Best regards
