A question about proxies

At work I need to use a proxy server to connect to the internet and I have successfully instructed Mafia to do so by entering the correct server to connect to and my username/password for it.

My workplace requires me to change my password roughly once per month and when I do that I generally forget to change the password in the mafia-proxy settings. This is not a problem since it appears to be working anyway, but I wondered why this is so. Any ideas?

Also: Is there an easy way to start mafia that sets it to either use the proxy-login or the non-proxy login so that I don't forget to change it when bringing my USB-stick home and back? It's not a big problem as it only generates an error log and fails to log in and then I remember what's wrong but it would be nice to not have to do that :)
