How to Encrypt Your Passwords with Emacs

How to use the built-in auth-source library and GNU Privacy Guard to securely store and access encrypted passwords in Emacs.

In this video, we'll learn how to use Emacs' built in auth-source library along with GNU Privacy Guard (gpg) to store and access encrypted passwords which can be used by Emacs packages to authenticate to the services and machines that you use. I'll also show how you can use emacsclient to access these passwords from other applications!
