+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, it’s 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 it’s pretty easy to add a macro to get the `memo` or `update-time`
+fields, too.
