Re: Some bad and unfortunate news
The problem is that anyone having access to the source code knows what info is being used to encrypt the key. The malware program that would be stealing your password could then just as easily view the same MAC address/system specs/attributes and again use it to decrypt the key. It would take a little more work on the part of the malware, but because these extra steps wouldn't actually make the encrypted key more secure, it would only offer users a false sense of security. Storing in plain text is Not the way a passsword should be stored, but making it seem encrypted when the key can be easily found, would actually be more misleading IMO.
