 * Hi, each time I change the plugin settings I have to go and clear the **Basic
   Auth** fields. I think the browser (Chrome) pre-fills these fields with my site
   login data which then get saved to the plugin settings even when I’m saving settings
   on _another_ settings page. Very annoying, specially seeing the password gets
   saved in plain format…

 * Hey [@ravanh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ravanh/),
 * thanks for your report!
 * I’m happy to improve that.
   It’s generally a good idea to prevent auto-fill for
   those fields.
 * While the password is stored in plain format, it’s never used unencrypted (I 
   think you haven’t checked the entire implementation, right? 😅)
 * Cheers,
   Patrick
