FeedReader proxy password change

Some keywords in the topic for everyone searching through Google! 😉

There’s a bug in FeedReader which results in not being able to change your proxy password. When you’re on a domain which makes you change your password every few weeks, that’s a bit of a problem. Luckely you can take a look at the source of FeedReader, as it’s open source on SourceForge.

As a result, I tried to remove the password from the .ini file, but that will lock up the application completely. So after removing the complete .ini file (from c:documents and settings[username]Application DataFeedReader) I could enter everything again and the popup came up which asked for my password.

Before doing this, I emailed the developers of FeedReader, with the question on how to change my password. If they respond, I’ll give them the solution to their problem. 😉
