I have backed up (non protected), and neither my Ovi nor my Skype password are in the file. I've also had to restore from backup, and the Skype account wasn't recreated afterwards - I don't think the Ovi one was either, but I can't be sure.

FWIW, unless you type in a passphrase upon startup of your device, there's no sane way to have encrypted passwords. The usual 'encrypted' passwords people see are usually a static passphrase and about as secure as a broken padlock. Yes, there's unencrypted passwords in gconf and other places. If they were to be truely encrypted we would need the TPM from Maemo6 devices. They have to be unencrypted as you would need to unlock it for the application each time it uses it.

My question now is where does .rtcom-accounts\accounts.cfg get its data from to the backup and whether or not that's protected as well?

Perhaps this has been fixed and it's only accounts created prior to PR1.1 which still have passwords in?

also I've noticed that the autocomplete function caches my passwords too. Yesterday a frend of mine was composing an email with my N900 and the device suggested my passwords to him. Grr

ive updated my firmware and it is still happening. just checked.
You have to remove that string from the dictionary first...

So, what is the proposal here? base64 encoding which takes simply one command more to decrypt?

All times are GMT. The time now is 21:39.
Edit: so to sum it up that's PR1.1 flashed, never taken a backup, no passwords showing in accounts.cfg for MSN, ICQ or Google Talk, though I've never been online with ICQ.
