Description (last modified by cbarrett) (diff)
Connected to ticket #362 after advice reduced and splitted:
When audium after launching shows all four log in service windows (for more different IM service) I need to type password four times. but in order to do it as fast as possible I almost send my password to the next service to my buddies from recently logged one as offline sent messages appeared on screen just after login to the previous IM with focus in typing part of the window! So I must be always very carefull. Type a password then wait for several seconds if any offline messages is received if yes focus back on log window to the next service and type password then wait again etc....slowing down and annoying indeed.
Focus should remain on log in windows until all of them are closed all confirmed!
If inunderstandable please check closed ticket #362 too thanks.
hopefully at least this can be solved if you consider in #362 closing wontfix description: "Application level password protection is not secure" despite the fact that I do not see different between storing passwords for IMs in and storing these passwords in but protected by another master password. But I do aggree that it is a far less secure than keychain but it is secure enough for basic in-passwords storing protection.- for those who storing passwords in anyway - what is an option. But as I said there I am not very experiencd Mac user so maybe I am missing a link.
