Comment (by yla):

 The passwords are stored in the user settings which is by default located
 in the current user's roaming profile. E.g. on a Win7 machine this (if not
 overridden)

 {{{
 C:\Users\[CurrentUser]\AppData\Roaming\Cyberduck\Cyberduck.exe_Url_[SomeID]\[CyberduckVersion]\user.config
 }}}

 Currently it's not possible to override this location. In the OS X version
 this is already possible and we plan to add this possibility too (refer to
 #5261). Please note that we use the [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-
 us/library/ms995355.aspx Data Protection API (DPAPI)] to encrypt all
 passwords (including passphrases for private keys). With pageant the
 passphrase is only stored in memory though. I'll have a look into adding
 pageant support for an upcoming version.
