With any luck the majority of services which require a username and password will also have a non-insecure method of authentication, such as OAuth. With this you don't need to store the username or password locally at all. If your mojito service says that it wants a username and password from the web services settings then at present the settings application will write both of those to GConf. This should be changed to use the gnome-keyring in the future, I've filed #5523 to remind myself about this. That said, patches very welcome. :) Ross -- Ross Burton mail: [email protected] jabber: [email protected] www: http://burtonini.com _______________________________________________ Moblin dev Mailing List [email protected] To manage or unsubscribe from this mailing list visit: http://lists.moblin.org/listinfo/dev or your user account on http://moblin.org once logged in.
