Ah, not quite. This patch doesn't give any more security than storing the
credentials in cleartext. You use a known key (the url, stored in clear text
in the preferences) to encrypt the credentials. Anybody who has access to
the preferences, the people your are trying to protect the credentials
against, can easily decrypt them, because they have the key. It's a bit more
work, but still easy.
