Comment (by macmillan):

 Yes, I understand that Cyberduck does not save passwords in its bookmarks
 but instead uses the keychain. But I didn't ask why Cyberduck does this; I
 asked if Cyberduck could incorporate the feature of storing the password
 in the bookmark, even as an option. (So you don't have to abandon using
 the keychain. Just make using the keychain the default, but optionally
 allow passwords to be stored in the bookmark.)

 Copying the keychain is not an option. Here's the situation: I help
 support about 150 FTP users. When a new FTP account is created, I create
 an FTP bookmark (using the Vicomsoft FTP Client software) and email that
 bookmark to the person(s) who requested the FTP account. All they need to
 do is add the bookmark to their Vicomsoft bookmarks folder and that's it
 -- zero configuration on their part. There is no security concern since
 all FTP accounts are on the same server and the bookmarks never leave the
 corporate network. This provides a very simple means of adding new
 bookmarks to users' systems. It is this functionality which is unique to
 the Vicomsoft software that I wish to see implemented into Cyberduck.

 Yes, I could create a single keychain that has all of the account
 passwords in it and install it on everyone's computer, but what happens
 when a new account is created? I would have to reinstall a new keychain
 into everyone's computers, and then the users would lose whatever
 passwords they had added to the keychain. So you see, using the keychain
 is not an option.

 So, to recap: I'm not asking you to abandon using the keychain. I'm asking
 for an additional, optional feature wherein the password could be stored
 within the bookmark. Thanks.
