Following years of criticism and user requests, the FileZilla FTP client is finally adding support for a master password that will act as a key for storing FTP login credentials in an encrypted format.This feature is scheduled to arrive in FileZilla 3.26.0, but you can use it now if you download the 3.26.0 (unstable) release candidate from here.FileZilla developer surprises his usersThe move is extremely surprising, at least for the FileZilla userbase. Users have been requesting this feature for a decade, since 2007, and they have asked it many and many times since then. All their requests have fallen on deaf ears and met with refusal from FileZilla maintainer, Tim Kosse.In November 2016, a user frustrated with Koose’s stance forked the FileZilla FTP client and added support for a master password via a spin-off app called FileZilla Secure.The author of FileZilla Secure took this action after his computer was infected with malware, and the malware stole the FileZilla password trove, a file named sitemanager.xml.
