[Alpine-info] Seeking someone who..?

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi Carlos,
As i have no intention of turning this off either, I have a quick 
question?
Where does alpine store this password, when it asks to save the password 
for future use?
Have reached the point of getting my app password, but the person doing 
the configuring is encountering an error, even though I am told the 
password   does not expire.
Thanks,
Karen
