FF asks for password

• Nate

  Hey Praveen
  
  In 2.0, RIL stores the password securely in Firefox's password manager. This is generally required of extensions. Previously 0.9 stored it in plaintext.
  
  The easiest thing to do is to disable auto-sync. This is under the Customize tab in the options.
  
  I'm thinking about adding an option that let's you opt to store the password unsecured so it doesn't have to be accessed with the master password if you are using one. More on that later.

  The auto-sync checkbox in the options is GRAYED on my system, and there is a checkmark in it. Now what???

  It is still possible to change the value in the config. Go to about:config, search for isreaditlater.autoSync and set it to false.

  I just pushed version 2.0.2 out.
  
  This has a new option under the advanced tab that let's you opt to save your password in Firefox's preferences (less secure). This is outside of FIrefox's password manager and therefore if you disable 'secure password storage', you will not be prompted for the password.
