Re: [orca-list] Which password managers do you use with orca?

[Matt Dizak <matt dizak gmail com>]

Hi Frans-Willem,

Excellent, thanks so much.  This morning I realized kpcli is written
in Perl, which was my first love in the programming world, so
naturally jumped in and started poking around.  Then I checked my
e-mail, and had the answer sitting right here for me.

Thanks, flipping that 0 to a 2 worked like a charm.  You saved me a
huge amount of time.

Best,
Matt
