1 Password Manager Daemon is a server that stores account credentials for any
2 program that needs to store sensitive data. The data is stored on the server
3 in an GnuPG encrypted XML file. Patched programs can connect (via SSL) to the
4 server and retrieve the wanted information.
6 I needed this because I have a few programs that require the same credentials
7 but hate having to update all my data files to reflect any changes in the
8 account. This way, there is a central location for the data.
10 I plan on writing a library to interface with the server to make patching
11 applications easier. For example, the mutt MUA could retrieve POP/SMTP/IMAP
12 account info from the server. Or the elinks web browser for form validation.
