I'm surprised they still suggest to "store your github username and password" locally when they could just as easily suggest to "store your github username and auth token".
Even if it's locked in my OS's credential store, do I really want to trust a text editor with my passwords? Why not suggest the more secure option? How sure can I be that none of the atom plugins I use will try to steal it?
- jonny_eh 9y agoYou're trusting Github with your Github credentials. As long as it's secure locally, I don't see the issue.
- realPubkey 9y agoThe problem are the many plugins that are not trustable
- dawnerd 9y agoThey say it's stored in the systems credential store so in theory a plugin wouldn't have access to it anyways.
