Re: Two-phase authentification?

Mutt wiki being http://dev.mutt.org/trac/wiki/MuttWiki?

Also, does anyone have a sense of how secure/insecure aes-256 is?  My
limited understanding is it is pretty secure, but I am not a security
guy or anything.

To encrypt the password I entered this on the commandline (OS X):

       openssl aes-256-cbc -salt -out pw.txt -in cleartext.txt
       (openssl then prompts your for an encryption password)


and in my muttrc file I wrote:

       set imap_pass = `openssl aes-256-cbc -salt -d -in ~/.mutt/pw.txt`
       set smtp_pass = $imap_pass

Nice! If you have time to add this somewhere in the Mutt wiki, it looks
like a good approach.
