[Feature Request] Server Password Manager with automatic setinfo _pw toggle and auto-cleanup #116

Description

@DeMNiX

Description

An enhancement to the player settings menu to implement a built-in Password Manager for game servers. This feature will automate privilege password handling and ensure password privacy.

Problem Statement

Currently, players who have privileges (Admin/VIP) on multiple servers have to manually change setinfo _pw "password" via the console or save multiple passwords inside their config.cfg. This leads to:

  1. Security risks: Passwords stay in the client configuration permanently, which can lead to accidental leaks if the player shares their config.
  2. Inconvenience: Players must constantly remember, look up, and re-type passwords when switching between different servers.

Proposed Solution / UI Suggestion

Add a dedicated Password Manager section inside the NextClient player settings menu.

  • Server History / List: Show a list of recently played or favorite servers.
  • Password Assignment: Allow the user to input and bind a specific password to a specific server IP address.
  • Automated Action:
    • Upon connecting to a stored server, the client automatically sets setinfo _pw "assigned_password".
    • Upon disconnecting or leaving the server, the client automatically clears the value (setinfo _pw "") to ensure privacy.
