Someone asked me to support passwords, so they could
put an entire queue of files under a password.

To enable this you'd also have to encypt the queue xml
file, cause thats plain text, otherwise, the naughty
boi comes along, opens the xml file, reads all the
information, passwords and usernames perhaps assigned
to downloads or uploads and thats it, password
protecting queues can't stop that.

In total:
1) password protected in the interface

2) user that password as a key into an encryption of
the xml config file

3) time limit for viewing a password protected queue,
unless secure is turned off, perhaps a button to secure
the interface would enable automatic changing of the
queue being viewed after a while period of time, so
people could leave their computer, after 1 minute,
it'll auto switch to say Default queue, where it's not
passworded. So if you accidentally leave it open,
it'll attempt to protect you from your own
absent-mindedness
