Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/electerm/electerm/issues/2326

Looks like the app uses token for encryption. And you have to use the same token in each Electerm instance to have access to encrypted settings. At least for Github.

The issue with this approach, that when the token will expire you will lose your saved data.

Maybe will be better to use some passphrase here instead of the token?

Thanks for the nice useful app!

@zxdong262 token maybe expire after sometime，he want encrypt by passphrase, token just for auth to github/gitee。
