Some users have asked why the password was required in order to log into the app when the data being displayed is accessible on the website without needing to be logged in. 
This was initially the case because the way in which the data was obtained from LastFm required a session to be created before loading the data. 

MyScrobbles 1.1.2 has now been released in which this process has been changed so that the user can now log in to the application using only their username, all the functionality of the app remains the same.

We may in the future add new features which could require a session to be created, these will be optional and so will only request for your password if you want to use the new feature.
