I agree with you that saving your passwords in plain text in a file is not consider secure, hence the password will not be saved by default unless you want to do so.
The idea is for bash beginners to create a small project and have fun while doing it.
I will look into publishing a more secure updated version.
I'm afraid the internet works differently: people pick a trusted site and copy and paste (see Stack Overflow) so this is really a bad, security speaking, advice, hint, suggestion, whatsoever, beginner thingy ... because beginners should be the first one to understand that security is not a joke.
Please update this post ASAP and remove that script before it damages some clueless copy-paster.
Thanks for your help in making this site a better place for beginners too 👋

I agree with with, the script has been modified. Thanks for the valuable input!
I've removed my initial comment, as the post has been updated and there is no place for that comment anymore.
Thank you for the update, I know it feels less "wow" or "cool" now, but it was the right thing to do 👍
