[Licq-main] secure login

[Jose T. <jaa...@gm...>]

Is there a way to make Licq connect without sending the password in
plain text?
A few days ago I was using an open wifi network and I was unable to load
my licq because people were sniffing the net..
It's a contradiction Licq offering a secure conversation channel and
sending plain password.. If someone get my pass, he/she will be able to
connect to anyone on my list using a secure connection.. :) He/she will
not see my conversation, but will be able to make the other party talk
about confidencial topics..

Comparing to msn, I loaded amsn in this open wifi net and the login was
secure but the conversation was plain..

Question: Do you have plans to support a secure login in icq? I remember
that years ago I was on this list and there were people asking this
question that time ...
