We have far too many of these at the moment (user account+password, vehicle ID, server password, module password, hologram account+password, etc). Once we have an encrypted connection, we don’t need to use the password for encryption, but merely for authentication. That simplifies things, as we can perhaps just use the user account+password for most things (giving access to all vehicles registered under that user account - in a similar way to MQTT does it already for ovms_server_v3).</li></ol></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I will take on the majority of this project.
