 package: gnu-pw-mgr
-blurb: gnu-pw-mgr is a password manager.  It works by generating
-+ passwords by a method that hashes a secret password ID and an initial
-+ seed value and then modifying the results according to the password
-+ requirements (acceptable characters, number of characters, etc.).  The
-+ ID is constructed by the user in a common way for all passwords, for
-+ example by adding a common prefix and suffix to the hostname (e.g., a
-+ password for gnu.org might have the ID "my gnu.org pass" and one for
-+ fsf.org would have the ID "my fsf.org pass").  Neither the password ID
-+ nor the actual password are stored on the system.  When retrieving the
-+ password, the user enters the secret password ID and the password is
-+ recomputed on the fly.
+blurb: This program is designed to make it easy to reconstruct difficult
++ passwords when they are needed while limiting the risk of attack.  The
++ user of this program inputs a self-defined transformation of a web
++ site URL and obtains the password and user name hint for that web
++ site.
