Store passwords with pwsafe
Secure password storage is a big thing these days, particularly with the (good!) advice of not re-using passwords in more than one place. The thinking behind that is that if someone figures out a password for one service or Web site, they will not be able to re-use that password on other sites and further obtain access to your credentials and services. This is good advice, but with all of the different Web services and social networks, not to mention online banking and other important online services, it is hard to keep track of multiple passwords. It is especially difficult if you follow best practices by not using common words, names, or phrases; instead, using a good combination of alphanumeric characters, numbers, and special characters.
There are a number of tools for various platforms, but the most “available” password manager on Linux is pwsafe. Yes, it is a command-line application, which is what makes it so versatile, especially if you are an individual who may want to obtain access to the password database remotely via SSH, or you otherwise work on the command-line. It can also interact with the X11 clipboard.
