That doesn't really answer my question though - that's just a replacement of a plain text password by an encrypted one. The value of that isn't really high when it requires the master password to be stored in a different file IMHO, but that's a different discussion all together. I want to be asked for password when one is required - that way NO passwords are stored longer than they have to.
