I assume your drive is encrypted but putting all your passwords in one
basket means a compromise is a bigger headache but you can go to
greater length to prevent that.

Hee hee, Facial recognition, the security that 6 year olds
have broken.

To the OP, the key for the passwords and the code is in the source
code. I guess a replace all passwords tool or function would be handy. I
have additional security measures but still use passwords in the client.
