%AppData%\Roaming\OpenVPN Connect\config.json stores user name and passwords unencrypted

Hi
I found that the file %AppData%\Roaming\OpenVPN Connect\config.json where all the different configurations of the servers are kept is unencrypted.

The serious problem is that the user name and passwords, that used to log in to the servers, are also kept in this file and are basically exposed.
:(


Please Please Please
Allow to add a password that encrypts this file and any other file that contains sensitive or personal information.
