As suggested a decade ago,
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-pretest-bug/2003-10/msg00229.html
the dribble file should be created with file permission bits = 600.

Very much agreed.

Will that solve the matter already? IMO a pw should never be stored as 
plain-text.
File-permissions are not considered save in that context.

Should be a way to replace the chars by "*" for example before writing it.
