Google Password Storage

Hi,
I'd rather not store my google password on my hard disk.

I tried to work around this, by deleting or changing it in the File -> Settings -> Sync -> Advance dialog, but it the dialog won't let you click "OK" if the password is wrong.

Is it possible to add a feature: You are (optionally) prompted to enter it only when a sync is done?

Thanks again for some great software,
Andy

I don't think that this is needed. The password gets stored encrypted - not as plaintext so its sure.

I'd still feel more secure if I could at least "un-set" it. I don't have it stored anywhere else.

Also, if MFE can de-crypt it, presumably the code must contain the decryption key.

A feature which would work for me would be to allow you to clear the password, or exit the dialog without the password being verified as correct.

Cheers,
Andy

OK, i will allow to clear the password in the next update. Thats the best compromise i can offer you.

Thanks so much

I've just sent a donation via paypal.

P.S. Maybe it would be useful to add (or make more visible) a link to paypal on the FJ Software website and forums.
