Looking up passwords in Mremote

I use the fantastic program mremote all the time. I just upgraded to mremoteng that supports tsg by the way.
I usually add the password to a folder that contains a lot of connections and as times goes by I seem to forget the password. So I found out a genius method for retrieving the password. I just created a external application and send %password% as a parameter into the application.

externalApplication

When this is done you can right click a connection and choose external application and choose the one you have created:
externalApplication1

And just like that CMD starts and echoes my password:
externalApplication2

    Nice…

    But that seems like a potential security risk to me… That means mRemote saves the password in clear text ?

    By the way;
    have tried SQL to store your connections ?
    I see that it is very experimental, but would be very useful. And then have a script to update the database regulary (from AD), to catch new servers… Maybe…

    I also thought this was a security risk until I realized that if you password protect your XML file you are protected. Because the password used on your XML is encrypted.

    I have not tried SQL with mRemoteNG, but that is a great idea. You should suggest this to the developers: http://wiki.github.com/rmcardle/mRemoteNG/feature-ideas

    Fint at du skriver på Englesk! :-)
