Since TC now has internal secure password-store, I suggest to introduce the possibility to create a so-called "secured profile".
That's what I mean here:
1) start TC's secured session only if user confirmed login/password;
2) for this secured session should be a possibility for on-the-fly encryption of configuration files (*.ini *.bar *.log *.tmp etc);
3) and for secured session TC may have an option to store passwords for archived files, especially *.rar. This way user is safe to make search, compare dirs, view files with lister and other operations without entering password for each passworded archive when TC access it.

What would be the advantage? TC would have to store the password somewhere to decrypt the key, so any troyan could download also the password...

Isn't it similar to having all FTP passwords in wcx_ftp.ini?ghisler(Author) wrote:What would be the advantage? TC would have to store the password somewhere to decrypt the key, so any troyan could download also the password...

This suggestion still not implemented, so I want to add some ideas to show its advantages.
If Total Commander would be able to act differently depending on whether the password of tcmdkey.zip was entered correctly at the start of the program, it could be possible to set a following scenarios:
User enters correct password -> TC starts with user license.
If the password isn't correct, TC either starts in Trial mode or doesn't start at all.
This can be extended even more if it will be possible to set a folder where all zip files will be treated as tcmdkey files. So after user enters the password, TC checks all zip files and on match applies license and starts itself with uniqe user-defined settings.
