I know how you feel, Im crazy about my passwords too. The password to my SSH server at home is over 50 characters long Let me know if you figure out how to do what you’re trying to do with the encrypted password. Good luck and thanks for reading!

Thanks, been looking for something like this.

Only thing I don’t like is storing passwords as plain-text (or even hashed); I have a ~25character password for a reason: because I’m paranoid , so I don’t like it stored any where except my head, especially not on an easily lost netbook

Going to have a look to see if I store the password in an encrypted file any have it auto-decrypted with a password on login.

Cheers again for the script.

That looks awesome Ivar, didn’t know what xmobar was until you showed me. Thanks a lot for the tip, I’ll mess around with it now

Hey, and thanks for this!

I modded it slightly for use with xmobar + highlighting for new messages:
