Hello,

I am using gnucash 3.4-1 on Debian 10. And I am using mysql backend.

Every time I start gnucash, I have to type my password manually. This is
very annoying, and as far as I can tell adds no real security.

Is it possible to store the mysql password somewhere locally?

If this is not possible, how could I hardcode the password into gnucash,
and recompile ? I am fine with recompiling, I had to do it for other
purpose anyway

thank you
