Webdeploy Publish Profile password saving

Question

I saved a publish profile into an .xml along wit all the login info. But when i import this XML to another computer and try to publish, it\'ll say that my password is incorrect

Answer 1

My guess is that the program purposely obfuscates the passwords using the current PC's "salt" and generates a unique hash. Thus, preventing the passwords from being stolen via the profile publish function.
