Anyway, if someone has a good alternative that doesn't break the saved-logins when you share your account or use multiple clients, I'm all ears.
I have one, but you won't like it: mac keychain, I was able to make it work with my client so far.

On windows machines browsers like Chrome use secure storage for passwords as long, as you have master password on your machine, but it just means password-password system which is kinda dumb for most people since they use admin12345678 or something similar.

But that also means booting an entire ducking browser just to keep that password slotted in.

At least, that's what I came up with.

So that was a long long time ago.
Ardennes ... well, that kinda makes sense.
Kinda short of 'most' it seems.

Yeah, and that's how you end up with some clients breaking settings for other clients. We're still seeing that with some stupid people deciding to break loftar's map caching code, breaking the map for ALL clients, because the map file is stored in the same place.
That's intentionally comparing apples with oranges. (not that I'm surprised about that)

You asked why my client doesn't share the settings with other clients? I answered and now you say I compare apples with oranges? Lol what
