Hi,
I have used FileZilla to access client sites for a number of years and my FileZilla dashboard contains a lot of login data for the back-end of these client sites.
I am concerned that if my PC was to be stolen or lost then there would be considerable risk to client data and a lot of damage could be done to these sites.
Is there a best practice or some way of enforcing a login for the FileZilla front-end and encryption of the stored data?
I will welcome any advice or comments on this.

In the settings you can either configure FileZilla to not store any passwords at all, or setup a master password to protect your stored password. If using a master password, your other passwords are protected with strong cryptography as described in viewtopic.php?p=156191#p156191, not even the NSA can break this.
