“Google Chrome beta 14 seems to not work with Google Maps? Anyone else seeing this issue?”

Try RubyCAS(server and client) or CAStronaut.

But you should use the git scheme and ssh keys instead.
`:git => “user@myserver.example:project.git”
plaintext passwords are never a good idea. and you can revoke ssh keys.
