Subject: Store news server authentication credentials for gnus in an encrypted manner.
Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2021 23:26:14 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAGP6POL=MEYkDDdEKFM3dF6ZgUOVqJBUwi=8CYCD8fA4-x8+yw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I noticed the FAQ 3-3 for gnus at
<https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/gnus/FAQ-3_002d3.html>,
which uses the file ~/.authinfo to store the news server
authentication information with file mode bits set to 600.
But I want to know if there are some encrypted methods for such a job.
Any hints will be highly appreciated.
Regards
