Decrypted password

[SamHoque]

Add a way to export decrypted password.

Oops you're right. I forgot about exporting with data encryption enabled.

No no, i mean't add an option to export plain text password so we can log into via our browser, I use password gen so I forget my passwords.

@LynxKik oh you mean the Steam account passwords themselves. A copy password item in the right click context menu should be fine for this, but I feel weird about exposing that. Then again if the application password protection is enabled it really shouldn't be an issue.

I'll see what I can do.

I don't think encryption makes that much of a difference, Since it's being locally hosted on your local device, It would make sense if it were hosted on a server but than again the encryption would be easy to break since it isn't an one way hash, Can you explain me the idea behind local encryption?

If you use the new password protection feature that some users requested, you can supply your own password to use as a key to hash the entire info.dat file, which could then only be decrypted using the chosen password. While it's not a perfect system, it should be good enough for people with security concerns. You can enable this in the settings window.

Regardless, I went ahead and implemented the 'Copy Password' item in the right-click context menu for account buttons and it will be available in the next release :)
