Can the password be moved to a separate file?

[user202729]

I'm thinking about using git to store my configuration files online, however from my reading of the source code, given a .cfconfig file it's possible to get the plain text password.

Is it possible to move the password to a separate file (for example .cfcredential)? For reference, git supports storing password indefinitely, but the password is stored (in plain text) in the ~/.git-credentials file.

Good idea~

I'll store them in ~/.cfsession

Because I think the cookies are important credentials too

Note that changing the config file path means:

• The password will still be stored in the old .cfconfig file (user would need to manually delete it.
• The user would need to reconfigure the templates(they could simply copy it from the old config file, but only if they know about it.)

If the user re-login, the configuration file will be updated.

BTW, in the latest version (>0.9.0), the configuration file will be updated every time while user using the cf .

What about the templates?...

Sorry, I just checked the code (v0.9.0). It had the feature above.
I meant if the user just move ~/.cfconfig to ~/.cf/config, in the next run of the cf, the redundant information will be deleted. So the username and password will be deleted and the other things will be kept.

Okay. But users who don't know about that file will not be able to do that. The program should inform the user, or automatically move the file if the source is present and not the target..

Well, the upgrade command does not support too many functions. I have updated the release notes. Thanks a lot!

That's why I added an Attention in the release note. I have no way to do that better. Sorry~
