Server password in clear text

Post by emulink »

Hi,

Since I get an error 500 using the search function on the forum, I do not know if this has been discussed or not: when adding a server, SabNZB requests a password. When I fill it in, it is in clear text. Would it be possible to have a checkbox next to it, to "censor" the content I fill in? I usually use SabNZB to introduce new people to Usenet and I do not want them to know my password.

I think that it probably has been done so, to prevent Chrome / Firefox to remember the passwords.

Yes indeed, it's top stop Chrome/FF/LastPass from storing the password.
We had many many many many users where the browser auto-filled usenet-passwords as their SABnzbd-main password.
