encrypting auto-login passwords.

Hi, I use kitty because it can save passwords - great when you have hundreds of sites defined.

It would be good to have these passwords encrypted. I saw this info:

"You can also encrypt this file and protect it with a password. To protect the file, open any session and open the special command input box by pressing the CTRL+F8 keys. Then type /configpassword followed by the password."

I am confused. If I am opening a session where I have defined the auto-login password already what is this command doing? Do I have to enter the auto-login password, or a new password to protect the auto-login password? If the latter, why would I want to do this per session - I would want to set a global password for all sessions?

Also, does it make any difference if I am using file based or registry based config? I.e. is the password stored encrypted which ever I use?

Any help appreciated. I love kitty!

Yes the password settings is encrypted in every saved session settings file.
