You should not apply what being said in this article to today's world where security takes priority,
[...] where there's a massive growth in the smart mobile market and Web 2.0 usage such as blogging Twitter Facebook etc.
Users are now becoming more concern with their privacy and the risks of identity theft.

I can't believe the sheer arrogance of the ideologic "security folks", preaching supersecurity or none at all.
In practice, having weak security IS better than no security. In this case, at least having encoded passwords is still better than having plaintext. Becaus it at least prevents random/accidental password exposure. Otherwise we could pretty much also stop **** the password entry fields.

Unless you implement strong encryption and a master password that you will always need to enter when some of the services need to read a password from that file.
