[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] Bug: Password not stored in Keychain

[TDefriez at cs.com]

This need to log on each time you connect is no different to Activesync on PC - if the device PocketPC has a password then it will prompt you each time you connect regardless of what you do on the PC end - It's call security. Remember you can connect a PocketPC to any system (with Activesync on) and log on as a guest and see/download everything on the device - a password stop this access. Personally think keychain, which a nice idea for some passwords, is dangerous because it generates an open door. Microsoft were sensible here not wishing for unauthorised users to have easy to access the device, they also assummed people could at least remember a simple password.
