Yup. If we're going to warn people about having "unsafe" passwords, it
shouldn't be intrusive.
And if there was a nice, painless road towards storing the passwords in
~/.authinfo.gpg, that would be nice. That is, if the user is queried
for user name/password, then auth-source.el should store it encrypted,
and not in the plain ~/.authinfo file.
(At least it's not stored there when I try it, but I might just not have
stuff set up correctly.)
