I use very long randomly generated passwords for my user accounts. I use ssh public keys to login to my accounts, but when I sudo I need to enter my long randomly generated passwords. I have them in 1Password and can copy and paste them fairly quickly in Core Shell, but I would like to be able to add that password as a profile config option that I could invoke with a hotkey. So I would type sudo and get prompted for my user password. I would then use the hotkey which would type my user password and enter. Bingo!
Despite the passwords and/or private key passphrases are encrypted to a safe place – system Keychain, the profile itself saved as plaintext.
It's not a good idea to save sensitive information into profile configuration, this can make your host vulnerable.
