[Kmymoney-devel] OFX plugin now uses KDE Wallet to store passwords

[Thomas Baumgart]

Hi all,

as of today, the KMyMoney OFX plugin uses the standard KDE wallet mechanism to 
store passwords. Previously, those passwords were stored in cleartext in the 
KMyMoney data file or your database backend. So far, we relied on the GPG 
encryption to hide this kind of information - which does not help the database 
backend.

Existing password settings will still be used. Those of you using a file to 
store their data will see a warning when saving to disk that there are still 
cleartext passwords and details on how to change things so that they are 
stored in the KDE wallet.  It's as easy as opening the account detail editor 
and close it by pressing OK and saving the file.

I have tested things here as much as I could and did not encounter any 
problems. If you do, please let us know by opening a bug entry on 
bugs.kde.org.

Enjoy.

p.s. If someone feels like backporting this change to the KDE3 version: 
patches are welcome.
