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:
|
||
|
||
{% 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.
