Hi,  
I use Star Team actions with default (global) settings (override not checked) and today I found out that Login credentials are stored in project file in PLAIN TEXT.  
I need to ask why it is stored in project file if always is used global settings (FinalBuilder-\>Tools-\>Options) ?  
If global settings is stored crypted (at least password) then why it is PLAIN TEXT in project file ?  
  
I consider this a high security risc. Is there any solution ? I use version 4.2.0.276 Standard

Hi Josef,  
  
Yes, this is a bug and a serious security risk. Thanks for reporting it. I’ve just corrected the issue and a new test build will be available very shortly (running now.)

Now it does not store StarTeam password in project file, all seems to work correctly.  
Big thanks.
