PLAIN mechanism sends password in BASE64 encoding which everyone can read. As result, debug logs expose password and users often don't remove it when post the logs in the Internet. Usually, both a secure mechanism and PLAIN are used in the scenario when username or password is incorrect. PLAIN fails in this scenario anyway.

==========
libstrophe is a lightweight XMPP client library written in C. It has
minimal dependencies and is configurable for various environments. It
runs well on Linux, Unix and Windows based platforms.
Its goals are:
- usable quickly
- well documented
- reliable
Build Instructions
------------------
If you are building from a source control checkout, run:
./bootstrap.sh
to generate the `configure` script.
From the top-level directory, run the following commands:
./configure
make
The public API is defined in `strophe.h` which is in the
top-level directory.
The `examples` directory contains some examples of how to
use the library; these may be helpful in addition to the
API documentation
To install on your system, as root (or using sudo):
make install
Note, the default install path is `/usr/local/`, to specify
another path use the `--prefix` option during configure, e.g.:
./configure --prefix=/usr
### Android
Run script `build-android.sh` and follow the instructions. You will
need expat sources and android-ndk.
Requirements
------------
libstrophe requires:
- expat or libxml2 - expat is the default; use --with-libxml2 to
switch
- openssl on UNIX systems
To build libstrophe using autotools you will need autoconf, automake,
libtool and pkg-config.
Installation
------------
libstrophe package has been added to popular Linux distributions,
BSD systems and OSX package managers.
Documentation
-------------
API documentation is inline with the code and conforms to Doxygen
standards. You can generate an HTML version of the API documentation
by running:
doxygen
Then open `docs/html/index.html`.
