You could use an external STON [1] or JSON [2] file to store the configs. I use the latter. You could symmetrically encrypt the whole file or just the password field. Or leave it in plain text where only the OS user can read it. Regards! [1] https://github.com/svenvc/ston [2] https://github.com/svenvc/NeoJSON Esteban A. Maringolo
