Improving PuTTY integration security
Running Process Explorer, I just noticed that the way session password is remembered and passed to PuTTY, is through the command line and thus shown in PE's Command Line column in plaintext. :shock:
I enjoy the convenience of this feature but knowing what I now know, I'll have to give up using it. Is there another, more secure way to have the password remembered? Because if not, there should at least be a big fat warning in WinSCP when you're enabling "Remember session password and pass it to PuTTY (SSH)".
