   Hi August,

   This could be useful if you only have a command line available. But even their   
   examples only store passwords for websites, suggesting there is a browser and   
   a gui available. If that is the case a gui password manager would be more user   
   friendly.   
      
   I've been a happy https://pwsafe.org/ user for many many years. Both on Linux   
   and Windows.

   Interesting, and maybe for emergency use, when a real password manager isn't   
   available, but otherwise I don't find it very practical...   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
