     Type:  defect              |    Status:  new       
Component:  unclassified        |   Version:  2.6.2     
 Keywords:  security, password  |

 When choosing to let pidgin remember the password, it is saving the
 password in clear text in .purple/accounts.xml


 There is not even a warning, that the password is not encrypted when
 saving it.
