 package: gnu-pw-mgr
-blurb: null (new)
+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.
