Security Notes

The passwords for callbook lookup and QSO upload are securely stored in your systems key vault (e.g. Credential Manager on Windows, KWallet on KDE/Linux, Keychain on macOS).

At startup, DragonLog will inform about which service is actually in use.

DragonLog relies on the keyring module.
