Subject: Password encryption




We came to know that Pidgin does not encrypt the users' password when
they choose "Remember Password" options in the accounts windows.

Is there any workaround for this as this will be security issue in any
organization as local administrators having access to the .purple
folder.

Thanks
Venkat
