 I know pidgin keep the password in plain text, why donot you add a plugin
 to secure pidgin when pidgin startup, like msecure.dll in Miranda IM.

 Especially, if one use several accounts meanwhile, you need to type the
 password one by one. If you choose to remember the passwords,then everyone
 can startup your pidgin and see your contacts and talk history, it is so
 terrible.

 So I think a startup password is much more better, do you agree?

 Thanks and wishes,

 Everack
