Mremoteng: Make custom password mandatory

Created on 28 Jan 2017  路  3Comments  路  Source: mRemoteNG/mRemoteNG

If credentials are saved in a location controlled by mRemoteNG (ie, xml file) then setting a custom password should be mandatory. If a user fully encrypts their connections file, then a custom password will also be required.

Currently, the default is to use a hard coded default password unless the user specifies a different one. This makes decryption trivial and is poor practice.

@fela15 No its not fixed by default. You need to make some changes to the configuration of mRemoteNG. Such as enabling a master password and setting the "Encrypt entire file"

This should be bumped to a very high priority!

has this been fixed? Any good practice to avoid offline decryption of password?
