I would just like to note that Dzonatas comments and proposed
solution have nothing to do with my comment "The solution is to not
worry about that case" that he appears to be explaining here.
The recent URL vulnerability had little to do with the dangers of
using passwords. It was all about Windows lack of an out-of-band
mechanism for separating components of a command line, and about the
implementation of the authentication from the server. There are
plenty of ways to use a secret to authenticate yourself that don't
involve passing a replayable secret over the network, encrypted or not.
