Also, in my opinion as more of an admin than a developer, any bug in a
routine that stores psswords temporary in plain text is *begging* to
have a bug or get an unexpected modification that publishes the
passwords somewhere else.  Basically, never handle or store dangerous
information that you don't *have* to store.
