Fair point. To mitigate this, we never store your password. Basically we exchange your username/password combo for a token from Hype Machine which is used to authenicate requests.

The only data we store are your username and some basic settings in a .plist (`open ~/Library/Preferences/com.Plug.Plug.plist`) and your token which you can view in Keychain Access.app and search Plug.

if i auth to hypem via twitter credentials, i have to pass those via plug?

Nope. We don't support the twitter/fb OAuth login right now. Just plain old username/password. The token we get back is a Hype Machine proprietary thing.
