"Instead of trying to remember an endless array of
passwords, a popular solution is to use password manager software.
In fact, this type of software is an essential tool for the active
internet user. It makes it easy to retrieve, manage and secure all
of your passwords. The passwords are stored in an encrypted file,
protected by a single master password. Consequently, the user only
has to remember a single password. Password managers encourage
users to choose unique, non-intuitive strong passwords for each
service.
"To provide an insight into the quality of software available
for Linux, we have compiled a list of 7 of the best free password
managers. Hopefully, there will be something of interest here who
wants to automate the process of entering passwords and other data,
and save the hassle of remembering multiple passwords. We give our
highest recommendation to KeePassX.
"Now, let's explore the 7 password managers. For each title we
have compiled its own portal page, a full description with an
