 > A decision was made at some point to turn this feature off by default
 and allow enabling it via a configure option. I assume it was done on
 security concerns, since storing a passphrase or full credentials to a VPN
 in plain text is hardly a good security practice :)

 When built with "--enable-password-save" does openvpn automatically save
 passwords as plain text?
