Plain text passwords
-
Just a heads up, I noticed when reporting a bug upstream that passwords in navidrome are stored in plain text. The upstream issue - https://github.com/deluan/navidrome/issues/202 . This is done for maximum subsonic API capability.
I have updated the post install message of the app to mention this. The best recommendation for now is to use some random password, for good measure.

@atrilahiji I think the design was chosen as a compromise. Without mobile apps (which use subsonic API), navidrome will be much less useful. I think what's missing (atleast for me) is they could have put this in the README or something.

@girish Does that mean there is a similar caveat with ampache and all subsonic compatible software?
@ruihildt From the navidrome issue I linked, I saw that Ampache decided not to support all the various subsonic clients apparently and does not store passwords in plain text - https://github.com/SenorSmartyPants/ampache/blob/develop/rest/index.php#L76

This is now fixed in https://github.com/navidrome/navidrome/issues/202
