My sysadmin toolbox (Linux.com)

Linux.com presents another edition of the sysadmin toolbox, featuring GNU Screen, Duplicity, ssync, FUSE, and more. "Figaro's Password Manager (FPM) is a lightweight password manager and password generator. After you type your master password, double-clicking a link in the FPM GUI will launch your browser, or gnome-terminal with SSH, or any other program. It also copies your username to the clipboard and the password to the primary selection, to make it easy to log into whatever service you're using. You can then paste your username with Shift-Insert and your password with the middle mouse button. I find this tool useful on my notebook, and feel safe using passwords even if I'm not alone, since no one can see me typing a password on the keyboard."

The URL of the link is broken, a / is missing. The correct one:

Actually there was an extra one. Fixed now though.
