Apple App/iTunes password in the clear in Log file?

by Carlyn Maw on May 10, 2011, no comments

So every once in awhile I poke at log files in the Console application
to see what my software is saying about me. I’m just curious that way
and software is just a bunch of gossips, don’t y’know.

So I was just looking and in the App Store log, and apparently about a
month ago when I “bought” XCode 4 as my first App Store experience, I
did something that caused it to save my password in clear text in my
local log file. Can anyone recreate this? Is it already fixed?

  1. Not sure what you did, but that log doesn’t exist on my system, and I do use the App Store. Good luck, though.
