Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  According to upstream:
--with-passfile=FILENAME
Password cache file (NOT secure, NOT recommended)

So I'm not confortable enabling that for the package in the official repo. If you want this feature, you'll need to use abs.

Maybe just a wake up, but I would like this too.
