would be useful to have a simple archive password 'memory' or db, which stores (in user's homedir, in a clear file or so) successfully used passwords, that can prompt you for browsing - and/or maybe (addictional option?) automagically tries all the password in db, for unattended operations - when some password is required.

something similar to what WinRar accomplish with its password manager (but of course there is a GUI there).

Not a bad idea but IMHO this is out of scope. If you want to do it I'll gladly include it in master though :)

Will leave it open as a feature if anyone feels like doing a bit of coding one day!

Added reading passwords from file
7c305b0 
You can now create a password list (default is ~/.unrar_passwords), which is a simple text file containing archive passwords (separated by newlines). If an archive needs a password, then unrarall will read the file in a top down manner and try to use each password until it finds the correct one or reaches EOF.

Please note, that this commit removes the ability to get asked for a password and input it manually. IMHO this is not needed, as this tool is clearly designed for mass extraction and should not wait for user input (this is also why the '-y' option is used in the code). If you need to extract an archive with a password, just put it in the passwords file  and remove the file afterwards (or just use plain unrar/7z).

This fixes arfoll#13
