I am not sure how the other Windows Mobile clients handle this according to @mus_hi, the free ad supported version of moTweets saves your twitter password in an XML file. With access to the file system via a File Explorer on Windows Mobile, its all too easy to look for this XML file in the installation directory and open it and guess what ? You password is saved there. We have contacted Panoramic Software to inform them of the issue and will let you know about any updates on the issue. ( read more about the issue on mushive.com ), I wouldn’t say you should stop using moTweets, but dont pass your device around to those nosy friends / siblings. moTweets is definitely one of the better twitter client on Windows Phone and I hope they have an update to fix the issue soon.

Update : A rep from Panoramic Software got back to us with this info .. This issue has already been addressed and will be released with the next version 1.8.3, which should be out today.
