Currently the password storage is optional, but may be useful to automate the update.
To prevent someone from easily spying on the password, a simple local encryption with a locally stored "master" password would help. It certainly doesn't prevent anyone from combining both and decrypting the passwords, but it helps against over-the-shoulder "attacks", which should be enough for most cases.
