As the FZ client currently stores passwords unencrypted and in plain text in sitemanager.xml,
do you have any plans to close this obvious security hole by encrypting the passwords or the file?

The security hole is elsewhere. If there is malware on the system it cannot be trusted, no encryption helps there.

End of discussion.
