Subject: Question regarding bungie.net mobile security?

Recently I came across an article stating that some mobile applications store a users username and password in cleartext.

Apparently certain applications such as netflix have been working on a security update as their application stores a person's password in cleartext.

I am curious if bungie's mobile application stores a users information in a similar fashion. I assume not but I figured it's an interesting question.

In terms of security it does not seem to be a big deal unless your phone is rooted which mine is not I just figured Id ask

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

I want to assume that they at least encrypt the file. It would be rather foolish to keep WLID information unencrypted. If it was compromised for that reason, the hacker could easily get Xbox LIVE information, your Bungie.net account, etc. However, I don't think that the application stores the email and password in plain text, and there's probably nothing to worry about.
