Save password for passworded servers #59

Open spacemud opened 5 years ago

When connecting to a server in my favourites with a password, it prompts me to reenter the password every time.

It would be nice if the password could be saved, similar to the default client.

The default client stores password in plain text with server information in a proprietary file format. Is it a good idea to store passwords anyway?

spacemud commented 5 years ago

Perhaps not. I suppose I've never attached much importance to the passwords used to connect to SA-MP servers, at least not in the way you would with other passwords.

It's mainly a convenience thing when connecting to development servers.

I might add support for connecting to locked servers by using an encrypted passwords database.
