Assword - simple and secure password management system
======================================================
Assword is a secure password manager that relies on your OpenPGP key
for security and is designed to integrate in a minimal fashion into
any X11 window manager.
Passwords and context strings are stored in a single OpenPGP-encrypted
and signed file (meaning entry contexts are not exposed to the
filesystem). Along with a simple command-line interface, there is a
streamlined GUI meant for X11 window manager integration. When
invoked, the GUI produces a prompt to search stored contexts. New
entries can also easily be created. Passwords are securely retrieved
without displaying on the screen. Multiple retrieval methods are
available, including auto-typing them directly into an X11 window
(default), or inserting them into the X11 clipboard.

Debian
------
Assword is now available in Debian: http://packages.qa.debian.org/assword
Debian/Ubuntu snapshot packages can also be easily made from the git
source. You can build the package from any branch but it requires an
up-to-date local branch of origin/debian, e.g.:
$ git branch debian origin/debian
Then:
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential devscripts pkg-config python-all-dev python-setuptools debhelper dpkg-dev fakeroot
$ make debian-snapshot
$ sudo apt-get install python-gpgme python-gtk2 python-pkg-resources python-xdo xclip
$ sudo dpkg -i build/assword_0.*_amd64.deb
