Well, this doesn't seem to apply to my device. Isn't this only if you've taken a full backup?

Very nice catch, already verified that

file:///home/user/.rtcom-accounts/accounts.cfg

in Web let me know all my friends' IM passwords in their N900.

also I've noticed that the autocomplete function caches my passwords too. Yesterday a frend of mine was composing an email with my N900 and the device suggested my passwords to him. Grr

Well, to put things into perspective I believe that not having them there in plaintext would only serve as making it slightly more difficult to do this as the software still has to decrypt and send the passwords when logging in and it would not be a major problem to snatch them if you have physical access to the system said software is running on.

I just tried that and as far as personal information goes it only contained my login, not password (never taken a backup if that were to make a difference).

Think it's already been reported and was fixed in PR1.1?
