FYI recently the fd.o guys started working on a "secrets storage spec"
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/secret-storage-spec
i find it quite interesting because they want to have a spec that
multiple applications will start using.
If you want to help steering them to be compatible wit

That's why I keep most of my less-used passwords in a

Also if you want to make code shorter you can use
[ expr ] && echo true || echo false
instead of if..else.
Thanks for the tip :) I updated passman accordingly and now it uses
"shred -fuz" instead of "rm -f".

pwsafe clears PRIMARY right after you use it. Then it exits. That way
you can use it only one time and you can be sure no one can see you

Maybe "xclip -l 1 -i" could do the work.
BTW I have just simplified the script even more (using umask instead of
chmod's). Last changes are in the hg tip.

You're right, perhaps it's an xsel bug?
Perhaps you could
echo "password" | xsel -i
sleep 0.5
xsel -c # or -d?
Maybe xclip offers more

Actually, I think passwordmanagers are not secure. All your passwords are
just as strong as your PM encryption.
I have an mnemoc/algorithm which enables me to generate a quite strong
password (without pen&paper) which depends on the name of the webpage
and/or username I use there.
