#10 Login window not let you save password
Amazing software, light and very responsible, saved me many times since phpvirtualbox suddenly stopped working!
One thing is missing: no way to save a password, why?
Another is that it is impossible to simply press Enter to login because cursor is locked in last field (where password is).
Really my concern about saving passwords is storing them securely. RemoteBox needs to 'know' the password in order to send it to VirtualBox, which in turn would make it trivial for anyone to get the saved passwords from a confguration file, even if they were stored enycrypted. I will give this some more thought.
Yes, you're right about not being able to press enter. This does need fixing
Hi,
how about adding the possibility to provide username,password and url in command line arguments? this way, you won't have to save it yourself, but I could automate my login process ;).
Would do it myself, but perl looks the same before and after compilation to me ;) (i know it's not compiled, but otherwise the joke won't work)
Sure I think that's probably a reasonably useful idea. I'll try and squeeze it into the next release if I can, otherwise it will be after that.
Command line options for automatic login have been added and will appear in the next release
Added command line options to specify the host, username and password to use when loggin in.
