(notes for investigation underway)

Upgrade/Downgrade Issues

  • What to do with old passwords after migrating to SQL format? (Also OS integration issues)

UI

  • Currently pwmgr seems to hook into autocomplete stuff for the username. Wouldn't a dropdown (editable) be more appropriate? Especially for multiple account support.

OS Support

  • Are XPCOM interfaces the best way to support "plugins" for password storage (current, sqllite, OS X keychain, gnome(?), etc.)
  • Should we always use the native support? What to do with old data when migrating from one storage form to another?
  • Support for multiple, concurrent pw stores?

Misc

  • Like Java, there doesn't seem to be a way to securely overwrite a value (like a password stored in a String) to keep it from floating around in memory. This would be good to address, if practical.
