Author Linux "ewallet"

In my old Windows days, I had a great little program called "ewallet." It
held all my passcodes and other information according to the analogy of an
index card each. Is there a nifty program in synaptic like this? I had
maybe 100 different "cards" with passwords, links, notes, etc. in
automatic alphebetical order.

I found kwalletmanager in synaptic. However it seems to be for KDE not
debian gnome.

That'll work in Gnome, but I used the word "password" in Synaptic
and read these non-KDE choices:

fpm - Manager for your passwords that allows you to securely store the ones
you use on the web.

gpass - GPass is a simple GNOME application, that lets you manage a collection
of passwords. The password collection is in an encrypted file, protected by
a master-password.

Gringotts - store passwords in an encrypted file
Gringotts is a small utility for Linux that allows you to store and
organize sensitive data (passwords, credit card numbers, PINs etc.)
in an easy-to-read, easy-to-access, and protected form.

MyPasswordSafe - is a straight-forward, easy-to-use password manager that
maintains compatibility with Password Safe files. MyPasswordSafe has the
following features:
- Safes are encrypted when they are stored to disk.
- Passwords never have to be seen, because they are copied to the clipboard.
- Random passwords can be generated.
- Window size, position, and column widths are remembered.
- Passwords remain encrypted until they need to be decrypted at the dialog
and file levels.
- A safe can be made active so it will always be opened when MyPasswordSafe
starts.
- Supports Unicode in the safes.
- Languages supported: English and French.

Pwman3 - console password managment application
Pwman3 aims to provide a simple but powerful command line interface for
password managment. It allows to store your password in a sqlite database
locked by a master password which can be encrypted with different algorithm
(e.g Blowfish, AES, DES3).

pwsafe - command line encrypted password database manager
pwsafe is a unix commandline program that manages encrypted password
databases.

Features:
- Pure command-line operation if desired (good for remote access over ssh)
- or can interact with X11 selection & clipboard.
- Portable, endianess-clean, misaligned-access-free C++.
- Compatible with CounterPane's PasswordSafe Win32 program versions 2.x
and 1.x. See http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/
- Funny comments included in source code.

Revelation - GNOME2 Password manager
Revelation is a password manager for the GNOME 2 desktop. It organizes
accounts in a tree structure, and stores them as AES-encrypted XML.

HTH,

That just means that it uses KDE libraries and has the KDE "Look". Any X
Window System program will work with any desktop and/or window manager.

After some personal web study, I chose Revelation. Did so because, in
part, its vulnerability is no better (or worse) than others and the
GUI appealed to me. Um, in other words, it fit my tastes.

managers. Thanks.

That's odd. I'm on Gnome (Etch) and the locale is different.
