In
this post you will find set of password managers for Linux which
provides secure storage for your passwords for sensitive data. If you
still keep the passwords in plain text then you must consider one of
available password managers .
KeePassX
KeePassX
has been a very popular and famous password manager for Linux for a
very long time and still trusted by pretty big number of users. When
user launches the KeePassX password manager first it requires to set up
of a master password to add an extra layer of security to password
storage. As an option you can use a file with encryption key instead of
the password. This key file can be used along with the master password
to provide stronger security. KeePassX application is rather simple so
you can easily create one or more databases which will have a master
password and will contain all the login credentials stored encrypted.
This manager is considered to be one of the most secure managers. If
you’re Ubuntu user just type in terminal the following command:
sudo apt-get install keepassx |
GPassword Manager
Gpassword
Manager (GPM) is also one of the most secure and highly rated password
managers which have more friendly and easy to use interface that
KeePassX. This utility has many features that make it to be a good
choice for most of the high level computer users. This password manager
allows to set and add favorites into system-tray that is one of the
unique features of this application. GPM utility uses the crypto++
method for encryption which can be used in Windows and Linux hence it
enables the same database to be used on different platforms without the
need to convert anything.
My Passwords
My
Passwords is a simple and easy to use utility that allows you to store
all your login credentials in an encrypted manner within a file. The
most exciting feature of this utility are its speed and no requirement
of an installation. Encryption algorithm that is used there is AES.
Storage in Derby Database format along with AES encryption gives the
user the power to create secure and fast password repository. The
interface for this utility is fairly simple.
Fiagaro’s Password Manager 2
Fiagaro’s
Password Manager 2 is another powerful tool with strong encryption
methods that makes it one of the most secure utility for managing
passwords in Linux. Fiagaro’s Password Manager 2 uses the AES-256
encryption of the database files which hold all your login credentials
(it uses master password that should be set up once you started the
program first).
Gringotts
Gringotts is
rather old project: its application for Linux/Unix provides the user
the possibility to store his or her notes in secure storage encrypted
by symmetrical ciphers. Gringotts has a set of eight different
algorithms that can be used to encrypt the desired data. This utility
also provides different methods for hashing as well as compression. The
interface of Gringotts is not as simple as of other password Managers
but still easy to use and most effective for old school bearded Unix
users.
