People working with the internet have to remember lots of passwords.
Saving them in a regular text file is not a good idea. If leave your desk somebody could take a look at the file and hack the systems. That's why I created Gpasman, a GTK password managing program. That's the question that everybody needs to know. Gpasman encrypts it's data using the rc2 algorithm as described in RFC2268, and implemented in the rc2 library by Matthew Palmer.
