What is the "keychain"?

[lausianne]

I'm sure this must be a silly question, but I did spend quite a bit of time trying to figure it out an failed. I just installed Cyberduck on a PC, and found out that my ftp passwords are stored in the "keychain". I know there is a keychain thing on Macs. But never heared of anything like that on a PC.

Can anyone please explain, what "keychain" refers to on a PC and how I can access/change passwords in Cyberduck?

Thank you!

The "Keychain" is a nomenclatura borrowed from the Mac. On Windows, passwords are encrypted using your login credentials and stored in the user.config file. When a login fails, you are prompted to reenter your password and the new credentials are saved.

Hi David, thanks a lot, I'd never have guessed that. So if I get you right, there actually is no way to change a password? I have to change it on the server and then wait until Cyberduck complains? Or delete an account and recreate it with a new password? That reminds me of my sad Mac-days ... sorry.

But then, if I may bother you again, what if I change my credentials, or when I want to use Cyberduck on a different account? - I cannot access user.config of another user, can I?

Cheers, Ralf.
