File: auth-source.el.html
This is the auth-source.el package. It lets users tell Gnus how to authenticate in a single place. Simplicity is the goal. Instead of providing 5000 options, we'll stick to simple, easy to understand options.
See the auth.info Info documentation for details.
TODO:
- never decode the backend file unless it's necessary
- a more generic way to match backends and search backend contents
- absorb netrc.el and simplify it
- protect passwords better
- allow creating and changing netrc lines (not files) e.g. change a password
