Add encryption support for the text saved. #63

Open lapineige opened 6 years ago

It would be nice to add encryption support (for instance with Firefox's Master Password ?), because the cached text can leak a lot of information. Auto-clearing the cache (as in #21 #18) can also protect the user, but in another way (and both can be combined).

Hi @lapineige,

Thanks for raising this idea. It is a good-to-have feature. I will think how to implement it. And it would be a configurable function.

It might make its performance worse, after all, encryption need time.

But I think my users do need this, thanks a lot!

Thanks for raising this idea. It is a good-to-have feature. I had this in the previous extension (Lazarus) I used for that.

And it would be a configurable function. Cool :)

It's just a small piece of text, I don't think it will be noticeable.

But I think my users do need this, thanks a lot!

Thanks for your work on this extension :)

I guess encryption is not implemented as of now. Where is the text saved (in firefox profile) ?
