O.P. Log file is storing password in plain text inside .ple file?

I was just in contact with someone who was asking for assistance on IRC, asking why the password for a log was stored in plain text. I had the person send the log, and surely enough the password is plainly visible when opened in notepad.

Now, the user himself is gone, but I did get contact info and the logfile itself. anyone know why this happened?
