Yeah, sorry about that. This prototype was optimized for development speed; I'm working on mobile apps now which will be easier to use. I'm not positive if the plaintext username/password is strictly required, but it's in docs from the spotify plugin's author (https://github.com/mopidy/mopidy-spotify#configuration https://github.com/mopidy/mopidy-spotify#configuration). I think it may be related to the fact that a native integration with spotify is only possible through a lib that spotify abandoned a while ago, so it's a bit of a hack.

Spotify's closed-sourced abondon-ware libspotify library requires the username and password. I'm not convinced by the argument that storing those details in a suitably protected text file is particularly risky but I appreciate others may have other ideas. You can actually read the password from the system keyring but we don't document that very well since it's more of a hack (if I remember correctly).
