Well, typically, it would address the issue that anybody could open an ini file and see a password there in plaintext. However, I guess it is actually a better idea to just not save the passwords, because running an md5 on it or something similar really isn't going to help much for someone who wants the information.

I'll make some sort of dialog asking for the password, I guess.
