Expected Behavior

Passwords should be stored encrypted and never displayed in log files.

Current Behavior

I learned from winboat.log winboat is calling FreeRDP with password in plain text. Additionally it displays the password as plain text in the log.

In conclusion this means the password is stored in plain text too.

Possible Solution

Store passwords encrypted and call FreeRDP with an encrypted password
