Linux has some good GUI based password managers like KeePassX. However, to keep things simpler, you can try out the cmdline password manager – pass. Though it is easy to use for basic needs, it can be a powerhouse if you want more control.
Features
- Operates from the cmdline
- GnuPG encryption
- Add, delete, read saved passwords
- Git integration to access the passwords from anywhere (a bad idea)
- bash completion enabled for easy usage
- iOS app, a Firefox plugin, a dmenu script and an emacs package from the community
- Can be installed easily on any Linux variant
Installation
Pass has minimal dependencies on git, gnupg2 and pwgen packages. To install pass on Ubuntu, run:
$ sudo apt-get install pass $ echo "source /etc/bash_completion.d/password-store" >> ~/.bashrc
Webpage: pass
