The config file saved in {homeDir}/.jiractl/config.json stores the user password in plaintext.

An alternative way to keep the user from having to enter credentials every time could be to use auth tokens like cookies.

@basemath that's a good idea; would you be up for contributing the fix?

@ealun it's possible, but I can't make any commitments/promises right now :)

@ealun @cfellin1 A good solution might be to use os-provided keychains like git does: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Credential-Storage
