The password is stored to create some action without user intervention (ie. without the user having to type his password), and as such the algorithm of storing these passwords has to be reversible -> and thus, however you encrypt it, using the source code of the program reading the file, there will NEVER be a problem getting the password.
so indeed: even if it would be liked to have these files protected: it won't be possible. It would only be a small additional burden. Faked security to be precise.
I understand and agree with that. I just thought that something kwallet-style could work. I mean, I would agree to enter long pass-phrase and to get an access to my sensitive data for some time. Someone who stole my laptop will still need to brute-force kwallet encryption. -- Mark Goldstein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
