Password in Plaintext #156

Closed mrUlrik closed 7 years ago

mrUlrik commented 7 years ago

I just complied using gcrypt and noticed my password was stored as plaintext in accounts.xml. Is this due to using gcrypt?

@mrUlrik Pidgin stores all passwords as plain text.

Doesn't it use gnome keyring?

There are plugins available that let you use Gnome/KDE keyring or the Windows credential manager instead.
