                                                                               Hello



I read un article on the internet pidgin store password without encryption. 


http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2011/03/how-to-hack-pidgin-risky-password.html

After reading this I go to /home/.purple/account.xml and show password wich is bad. I go to manage account, I have delete account and recreate without check remember password. I use Ubuntu 12.04



Why password isn`t  encrypted? How make password secure?
