Chandler can encrypt mail and sharing account passwords
April 17th, 2007 at 1:27 pm (1 year ago) by heikki under Chandler Product NewsChandler 0.7alpha5 has the ability to encrypt the email and sharing account passwords. To encrypt the account passwords, you need to go to File menu and select Protect Passwords… and set a master password. From then on, whenever Chandler needs to use an email or sharing account password, it will ask you for the master password in order to decrypt the protected account password(s). A word of warning though: if you forget the master password you will need to reset all passwords and set new values before email and sharing will work again. By default Chandler remembers the master password for 15 minutes, but you can change the time. The full specification for this feature is described in the Passwords spec.
