It _IS_ secure. This is not some "I wrote it during the weekend"
encryption.
It is real, tried and tested encryption.

This is not going to help to solve the issue. I belive David
refers to encrypting the .purple directory. But local administrators of
the computer will be able to decrypt the folder and access the password.
This is not a secure workaround.
i would like to hash the password so it should not be visible
even to the user who stores the password.

Subject: Password encryption
We came to know that Pidgin does not encrypt the users'
password when
they choose "Remember Password" options in the accounts
windows.
Is there any workaround for this as this will be
security issue in any
organization as local administrators having access to
the .purple
folder.
Thanks
Venkat
