I'm sure everyone here is very nice however, by giving some ones keys to your house you are trusting they wont steal anything. Likewise the person who takes the keys is now responsible for the house FOREVER.\n\nIf something was to go wrong, then you the author may well legally become liable for damages, which they would not normally have been as their software is provided without warranty.\n\n<strong>Please be aware that repeatedly asking for credentials will result in us escalating this to the plugins team.</strong>\n\nIt's never necessary to do that.
