Comment 3 for bug 733307

Perhaps we should add a little notice indicating that Pithos does not store passwords securely, nor can it transmit them as such because of the aforementioned reasons.

We could also use python-keyring <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/keyring>, which is packaged in the repositories and abstracts away keyring access on GNOME, KDE, OSX. This way, the passwords are stored in a central location, which users can choose to protect if they so desire.
