Password stored in plain text

[RobinJ]

If you check "Save password", it stores the username and password in a plain text file called ~/.local/share/gwoffice/auth.

There's a tooltip warning you about this.
Right now I'm hoping to be able to drop client login completely soon and replace it with gnome-online-accounts. The code is already there, it just needs a newer version. I really hope in 12.10 everything will work.

A tooltip is easily missed. I think, if you can't release a quick fix for Gnome Keyring or something, that at least there should be a clear warning saying that the Google account data is stored in plain text.

Took me a while to find the time, but now you got your password securely in the gnome keyring. The old password file should automatically be deleted on next launch.
