That might be an option. I can't find anything on this file in the
online book, could you point out where to find documentation for this?

Yes, I did a check and the password was not saved. Still, I can't be
sure that it does what I want until I get a much better view on the
internal structure. I hoped one of the more experienced developer
could quickly verify it or point out a better way to achieve this.

Not at all. There seems to be no option though if we don't want to
deal with the current irritating default.
