I just took a look at this, it contains
+(defcustom auth-source-save-secrets nil
+ "If set, auth-source will respect it for password tokens behavior."
+ :group 'auth-source
+ :version "23.2" ;; No Gnus
+ :type `(choice
+ :tag "auth-source new password token behavior"
+ (const :tag "Use GPG tokens" gpg)
+ (const :tag "Save unencrypted" nil)
+ (const :tag "Ask" ask)))
I'm glad auth-source will show respect, but that doc-string is almost
information free. How about something like
"This controls what auth-source will do with password tokens: save them,
ask, store as gpg tokens in .authinfo"
Also, does ask mean 'ask once', or does it mean 'ask every time'? I'm
personally looking for something that would give me "don't store
passwords and don't ask me about storing them except maybe the first
time".
Regards
Robert
