I recently started
using 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,
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:
{% gist 8bad70502ac563864080f754fce726c3 idm.el %}
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.
