firstly, let me say I LOVE this widget. I was using the OSX one before.
The only suggestion I have is wahn I reset my laptop, MaP defaults back to ClearPassword OnHide, which I always reset to Never.

Can I hack a config file somewhere?

Thanks

vexing minor quirk - Yadda Yadda

Hi, this is Andrew, the developer of Make-A-Pass. There isn't a config file to edit, per se, but you can edit the widget itself in the following way to achieve the result you want (note: probably best to make a backup of the widget in case something goes wrong):

Control-click (or right-click) on the widget and choose "Show Package Contents". Open the file "Make-A-Pass.html" in a text editor such as BareBones' free TextWrangler. Look for the following code:

<option value="onhide">onHide</option>
<option value="1_min" selected="selected">after 1 min</option>
<option value="5_min">after 5 mins</option>
<option value="30_mins">after 30 mins</option>
<option value="never">Never</option>

Cut the string ' selected="selected"' and paste it after 'value="never"' in the last <option> tag.

Save the HTML and reload the widget. Should work the way you want it to!

Cheers,
-Andrew
