(#181) * Use auth-source-search for fetching and saving password This gives users the ability to save their password to either the gpg-encrypted ~/.authinfo.gpg or ~/.authinfo so that they don't have to provide username/password each time * Add a new custom var to decide whether to use the auth-source package or not. --- README.org | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) (limited to 'README.org') diff --git a/README.org b/README.org index 5b8b676..a5e5819 100644 --- a/README.org +++ b/README.org @@ -65,6 +65,10 @@ Set =mastodon-instance-url= in your =.emacs= or =customize=.
