I put accounts.txt in an encfs-encrypted directory. Each password has a
nickname and a value. Then I have a script that can
* list all nicknames
* print the password for a given nickname
* put the password for a given nickname into the X selection (for
pasting with mouse-2)
I think the idea sucks less, but the script itself sucks more. (It
tries to support multiple passwords on one invocation, but fails.) Btw,
does anyone know how to insert something into the buffer that is used
for Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V in Gnome-ish and KDE-ish apps?

Hey guys,
I posted a thread on the debian-user mailing list titled "Nice GUI/CLI Password
Manager for Linux."
I got some interesting answers. Mainly:
1. vim + encfs
2. Revelation - GTK app
3. pwsafe - CLI solution but looks like it hasn't been updated in a while
4. KWallet
After DWM, I've been in a "suckless" mindset. So from the above list...it looks
like vim + encfs is a good solution.
What do DWM users use?
Thanks,
Amit
