Option to not cache password / send in clear text to PuTTY via command line (original) (raw)

Hello,

It would be nice to have an option to have SuperPuTTY not send passwords to PuTTY via the command line. Expected behavior with this option would be for PuTTY to always ask for a password when duplicating tabs or opening File Transfer windows.

The reason for this request is because the password is visible simply by running this (or other similar) PowerShell command: Get-WmiObject Win32_Process | select name, commandline

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Right click on a host, select File Transfer
  2. Enter password
  3. Double click on a host to start a SSH session, it doesn't ask for a password
  4. Check Get-WmiObject Win32_Process | select name, commandline and see your password in plain text.

Thanks!
