I'm currently on 0.8.0 and the passwords are definitely stored encrypted. There's a file somewhere containing the passwords, encrypted and base64 encoded. "View saved passwords" doesn't show the actual passwords, just the sites for which passwords have been saved and the associated login names. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
