Re: Fwd: about accounts file
I've never much understood Pidgins perspective on this. Even base64 is obscure enough to keep a human from reading it over the shoulder. The Unix argument seems to be pragmatic and naive in an Active Directory dominated industry. I for one agree with the OP, clear text is frightening to see, regardless of the technicalities around how secure it is. Love pidgin tho... :) -Tres On Aug 24, 2013 2:49 PM, Kevin Stange ksta...@pidgin.im wrote: On 08/24/2013 11:13 AM, Fernando Jung wrote: is there any way to encrypt the ~/.purple/accounts.xml files? in it is all my accounts setting saved as plain text, including my passwords, which is not very secure Please see: https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/PlainTextPasswords In 3.0.0, which is under development, we will support keyring systems, which will allow you to encrypt your passwords in the keyring rather than store them within the pidgin configuration.

Re: Fwd: about accounts file
Tres Finocchiaro spake unto us the following wisdom: I've never much understood Pidgins perspective on this. Even base64 is obscure enough to keep a human from reading it over the shoulder. Unless your password is very, very bad, a base64 encoding of the password should be of roughly similar complexity. Therefore, anyone who can remember your password can remember the base64 -- and reverse it. The Unix argument seems to be pragmatic and naive in an Active Directory dominated industry. I for one agree with the OP, clear text is frightening to see, regardless of the technicalities around how secure it is. Good. It should be frightening. That's the point.
