Curious. The blurb states passwords are kept on my computer – not online.

I actually don’t know if it’s a Linux app.
I have a Firefox Add On that I’ve been using for a few weeks just because running from computer to computer makes passwords such a kludge. : especially since I have several pages in a binder devoted to tracking them. Admittedly, online storage scares many but I don’t use business apps on my surfing computer anyway – which runs Ubuntu 9.04
Look for LastPass 1.51.2 : it generates and stores passwords and you can use it wherever you go ( just don’t forget your master password! )

Excellent article. Mainly use Ubuntu, but have Windows 7 and a OSX system that I use every once in a while. Already used Password Gorilla, and very satisfied with it. Just had to install PG to them, now everything is safe and useable.

FWIW, I use vim with gpg to automagically edit an encryped text file, with the following macro (put it in your ~/.vimrc),

Then I just use a bash alias like this,

alias edpass=’vim ~/data/passwds.gpg’

What I’d like to find is not just something that happens to be available in Linux AND Windows VERSIONS, but genuinely WORKS on Linux and Windows, WITHOUT different versions (e.g. maybe using Java).

In particular, I’d like it to work directly from a USB drive, regardless of where I take it, AND also have some kind of OTP (one-time password) capability, as well.

Do any of the existing applications even come CLOSE to that? If so, to which PARTS of that?

I just use jungle disk to store my Revelation database though I may have to move to Password Gorilla for windows support

What about something that has remote capabilities. I.e. all data is stored on the linux box but can be accessed via network from OS X w/o the use of Transmit. Anyone seen or uses something like this?

My all-time favorite is KisKis (Keep It Secret! Keep It Safe!).

This is a Java application and runs on any platform.
It encrypts the data with PGP (you can use standalone pgp to decrypt).

I has some pretty cool features, for example creating a hierarchy for accounts and adding attachments.

I have it on my USB stick and I trust it with all my passwords (also personal stuff).

I use password gorilla very good. Just put it in ~/bin {/home/user/bin]
the site where it comes from it has all the instructions.

man, sorry i didn’t answer later…i didn’t believe anyone would reply

I looked the executable permissions….

i did this chmod -R 777 gorilla i don’t think this is the right way to do it. also now the programm doesn’t remember my last choice {in picking a database…}

i don’t know why it doesn’t work, one year earlier i had installed password gorilla in ubuntu 6.10 with not much trouble….

any further help will be deeply apreciated…

Nice overview.

I can recommended KeePass(X) – it runs fine on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X Boxes. You can also run it on various mobile phones which makes it perfect for sysadmins :)

Your guide was very helpful. I got stuck trying to figure out how to get the correct TCL file extensions and the apt-get with appropriate file nams got me going in just a couple of minutes :) Thanks

BTW, I use this cross platform now and keep the database and all the Linux files as well as a WinXP EXE on amemory stick. I can load up up any of my Linux or Win machines. Just have to make sure on the Linux machines you code apt-get install itcl3 bwidget first and then it runs OK.

And FPM — Figaro’s Password Manager. I actually prefer it to Revelation.
