I recently started
using [`id-manager`](https://github.com/kiwanami/emacs-id-manager). It is a
nice little package that can store your passwords, encrypting them with
GPG. My original reason was to store my GitHub access token
for [`github-notifier`](https://github.com/xuchunyang/github-notifier.el),
but it soon turned out, its not *that* easy.
`id-manager` is a nice package when it comes to storing your password, and
retrieving them for your own eyes. But it cannot retrieve account data
programatically. Taking a look into its source code, I came up with this
solution:

I currently need only the account ID (ie. the username) and the password,
but its pretty easy to add a macro to get the `memo` or `update-time`
fields, too.
