The mechanism behind is apparently that the password in `settings.json` is overwritten with the hash of the password<ref>https://superuser.com/questions/113649/how-do-you-set-a -password-for-transmission-daemon-the-bittorrent-client-server</ref> which is a good idea, but requires a good implementation and documentation. Both the configuration file and the `settings.json.tmpl` are undocumented. The purpose of `settings.json.tmpl` is unclear and change to it don't seem to have an effect.

That doesn't make sense and the warning in the sibling file README.md is an unnecessary complication because it can easily be a comment in settings.json itself.
