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.

Hi,

you can encrypt passwords in settings.xml:
