Pidgin is very clear on this: your passwords are stored in plaintext

Don’t save any passwords to PC
It’s all too easy to retrieve passwords, even Xp login passwords.

That is definitely true and something a lot of people should listen to, but it is too easy for people to store passwords so most people always do.

“and the odds are probably very high that your messenger password is the same as what you use with online banking”
Only if you’re stupid.

I’m sure there are plenty of stupid people then.
