Best password tool.

Does anybody know of something like RoboForm password manager but for Linux ? Same ease of use and functions.

One google search away...

Oh yes...

Some of these work on Linux by being browser-based. Those tend to have a subscription fee.. I've listed the free ones that run locally first.

pass
KeePassXC
BitWarden (this just came up in a search)
Lockwise
LastPass (I use this)
1Password (I think this should work very well on Linux these days)

You can also host your own. Here's one success story:

If i were you, I would keep everything in a plain text file because why not, then encrypt that file with openssl:

$ openssl aes-256-cbc -a -e -salt -in "input.file" -out "output.file"

Whenever you want to look something up in it, you decrypt it temporarily.

Or maybe just use EncFS.

You wanna be a Linux user, get used to the terminal and plain text tools. They're still popular for a reason. You get everything done very quickly without ever taking your hands off the keyboard. Wean off the mouse.

Try "pwgen" which generates random, meaningless but pronounceable passwords.

See the first program on my list.

THANKS! A guy at a LUG showed me a program that did that once, and I always wondered what it was.

I use Keepassxc.

I like because it's not browser-based and the database is portable.

I use Password Safe on Windows, originally authored by Bruce Schneier and like it very much. You can share your database among several devices, including mobiles.

There seems to be a Linux version (marked beta, but the version number starts with a 1).
