 * Excited to give this a try, but stopped when I realized it wanted my user/pass.
 * I tested on local and found it saved the password as clear text in the DB 🙁
 * I notice there is a “WPSiteSync for Content Site key”, shown so I hope and trust
   token based authentication is coming soon?

 * Hello Jon,
 * Yes, a token based authentication is coming — in addition to a white list of 
   allowed Source sites on the Target system. Security is very important and is 
   one of the areas that will be improved during the beta phase.

 * Hey Jon,
 * The authentication tokens have been implemented in our RC1 that went out yesterday.

 * Hi,
 * Could you indicate how to make use of the authentication tokens? I see no option
   for entering a token.
 * Looking forward to seeing this in operation. Thanks!

 * The authentication tokens are created automatically when you enter the Target
   sites credentials.

 * Thank you for your reply. I understand how authentication tokens operate now.
   The issue is resolved, but I think that only the original requestor can mark 
   it resolved.

 * No problem, I’ll mark it resolved again.
 * Kalssenjm, just fyi next time you can avoid that happening by opening your own
   thread 😉
