Computer password is in cleartext in the plugin.log file

Hi Karl,

While trying to troubleshoot fingscan not loading on my recently upgraded to Sonoma Mac Mini, I reviewed the plugin.log file fingscan creates and realized much to my dismay that my Mac password is entered many many times in cleartext right in the log, which is a pretty big security issue to me. I've disabled fingscan and would love to know if this is a known issue that is on a list for a rapid fix.

Thanks for this very helpful plugin!

It is only shown when debug is on. If you switch it off the password is not shown

ps
if some external can read your log files on your home mac you have a real problem
and fingscan does NOT save the password in clear text in the prefs file

Thank you Karl, I really appreciate your quick tweak to the code!
