Tim: I understand your point. I suggest two things though, 1- support for obscuring the passwords, understanding all the limitations that this has. Even being trivial, it would require more than taking the disk out of the machine and using "vi" or "gedit" to look at the password, and that has some value, even if the real value is just improving the user perception of security. This is not a bad thing, as long the documentation makes the limitations clear.
2- Implement an optional "master password", like firefox. Then use it to encrypt the passwords and URLs in the sitemanager / settings file. I'm all for option #2. It provides a reasonable level of security to millions of firefox users; I would see it helping filezilla users as well. -- Passwords saved as plain text https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202114 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
