Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: v1.5.0 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Invalid Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Chucks (chuck_s) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: GAIM doesnt encrypt account passwords in accounts.xml Initial Comment: A friend of mine informed me that gaim doesnt encrypt passwords, so I went digging. Sure enough, he's correct. Gaim stores saved passwords as plaintext on the filesystem in ~/.gaim/accounts.xml This may have been fixed in the 2.0 series, but I am not yet using 2.0. If this has been resolved in the 2.0, please reply with an acknowledgment of the resolution. Thank you! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Stu Tomlinson (nosnilmot) Date: 2007-03-17 22:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=309779 Originator: NO http://gaim.sourceforge.net/plaintextpasswords.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100235&aid=1682938&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
