 i can only attest for the windows version of pidgin but in the
 ...Application Data\.purple\accounts.xml file all the passwords for all
 the accounts are stored as unencrypted strings.

 can i suggest encrypting this in some way. or can you please provide a
 reason why its not encrypted.

 but good work guys this app rocks!
