You can store the password in the database document but the GUI does not offer this option. The database document is zipped XML with no encryption. If you save the user's database password in the document, anybody with a zip tool and editor can read it. > That is what I am trying to do with Base.

If you had one drink too many, the screenshot indicates clearly that my tool can store the log-in flag, the user name and the passord (together with jdbc:hsqldb: connection parameters).
