If I could make a quick feature request - to be able to copy a password to the clipboard (pref. plain X11) instead of outputing otherwise (I've had a quick look for a way to do this to no avail). Also a util to securely erase a file a password was output to would be complimentary.
This was an interesting article,
The Usability of Passwords. It appears a short phrase of (near) normal English is as secure as 8 or so mixed symbols/chars.
Myself I'm still trying to figure how I'm getting incidents of MITM style data injection over a SSL vpn to a https webpage! (I can't do any more to make the physical machine itself more secure either - so I am assuming this is not the problem, and I'm not running any dodgy software otherwise.)

condor_store_cred(1) General Commands Manual condor_store_cred(1)
Name
condor_store_cred securely - stash a password
Synopsis
condor_store_cred [-help]
condor_store_credadd[ -c | -u username] [-p password] [-n machinename] [-f filename]
condor_store_creddelete[ -c | -u username] [-n machinename]
condor_store_credquery[ -c | -u username] [-n machinename]
Description
condor_store_credstores passwords in a secure manner. There are two separate uses of condor_store_cred:
1. A shared pool password is needed in order to implement the PASSWORD authentication method. condor_store_cred using the -coption
deals with the password for the implied condor_pool@$(UID_DOMAIN) user name.
On a Unix machine, condor_store_cred with the -foption is used to set the pool password, as needed when used with the PASSWORD authen-
tication method. The pool password is placed in a file specified by the SEC_PASSWORD_FILE configuration variable.
2. In order to submit a job from a Windows platform machine, or to execute a job on a Windows platform machine utilizing the run_as_own-
erfunctionality, condor_store_cred stores the password of a user/domain pair securely in the Windows registry. Using this stored pass-
word, Condor may act on behalf of the submitting user to access files, such as writing output or log files. Condor is able to run jobs
with the user ID of the submitting user. The password is stored in the same manner as the system does when setting or changing account
passwords.
Passwords are stashed in a persistent manner; they are maintained across system reboots.
The addargument on the Windows platform stores the password securely in the registry. The user is prompted to enter the password twice for
confirmation, and characters are not echoed. If there is already a password stashed, the old password will be overwritten by the new pass-
word.
The deleteargument deletes the current password, if it exists.
The queryreports whether the password is stored or not.
Options
-c
Operations refer to the pool password, as used in the PASSWORD authentication method.
-f filename
For Unix machines only, generates a pool password file named filenamethat may be used with the PASSWORD authentication method.
-help
Displays a brief summary of command options.
-n machinename
Apply the command on the given machine.
-p password
Stores password, rather than prompting the user to enter a password.
-u username
Specify the user name.
Exit Status
condor_store_credwill exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and it will exit with the value 1 (one) upon failure.
