When opening BoxCryptor, I get the option to "Remember this password". I’m curious where this is stored? (I.e. is the saved password stored in .encfs6.xml, the registry, etc). Also, what (if any) protection is used to keep the saved password private (for example using SecureString: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/shawnfa/archive/2004/05/27/143254.aspx )? Thanks!
i don't know where it is stored in windows, but In os x it is stored in the keychain.
in windows i think its here:
c:\Users\ehab\AppData\Local\Secomba_GmbH\BoxCryptor.exe_Url_somehexes\1.3.0.1\
the somehexes is different for you.
Please see this thread for information how BoxCryptor stores the password:

BoxCryptor for Mac OS X was not yet available back then. As son1c mentions, it is stored in the Keychain.
