Right now the Encrypt Login Password option is an
option that you must manually select. This is not
optimal security. High security, especially really simple
things like this, should be the default, and overriding the
default, high security state should be the option.
Functionally, Encrypt Login Password should instead
be Do Not Encrypt Login Password, although I question
the need for such an option in the first place.

I'd also like to see the Encrypt Login Password actually
encrypt the password in the config file (as opposed to just
transmitting it in the POST in encrypted form, as was
explained by Omar in some comments on Scott's blog). This
was throwing me off when I was testing a local install and
was surprised to continue seeing the plaintext password.
