Indeed. I may change it in the future to reflect that we don't *store* the password, as I personally wouldn't want to use an app that stored my password onboard. Similar to how twitter's X-Auth works, the password is just sent in exchange for a cookie. Something along the lines of "Your credentials are ONLY shared with Reddit.com. We do not store these AT ALL"
