|
|
Hi
I recently installed net-mail/fetchyahoo-2.10.5 to fetch my Yahoo mail.
In .fetchyahoorc it says: Code: | # this can be a password or an md5_hex hashed password
password = yahoo-password |
It works fine with if I just enter my password, but I don't like the idea of having my password just lay around in plain text...
So, how do I turn it into an "md5_hex hashed" password?
Thanks in advance! _________________ “And even in authoritarian countries, information networks are helping people discover new facts and making governments more accountable.”– Hillary Clinton, Jan. 21, 2010
