Passwords stored in clear text

I just did a few tests with sshfs-win-manager, this app is really user-friendly. What I don't like is that it stores passwords in clear-text. Please consider using a password store.

For example, the Windows password store:

  • https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/accessing-credential-manager-1b5c916a-6a16-889f-8581-fc16e8165ac0

But some other portable backend which supports for example auto-type would also be a great solution:

There is a disclaimer on the README file about this.

Thank you for the references and will take a look as soon as I get some spare time.

Or with pageant as mentioned in #163 would also be great.
