Editor to share with you what the password managers commonly used in the Linux system are, I believe most people do not know much about it, so share this article for your reference, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, let's go to know it!

Linux password Manager

Possible non-FOSS alerts! We give priority to open source software (there are some proprietary software, please don't hate me! And provide stand-alone desktop applications (GUI) for Linux Proprietary software has been highlighted.

1 、 Bitwarden

Main highlights:

Open source free for personal use (optional paid upgrade) end-to-end encryption of CVM cross-platform has a browser extension command line tool

Bitwarden is one of the most impressive password managers on Linux. To be honest, I didn't know about it until now. I have switched from LastPass to it. I can easily import data from LastPass without any problems or difficulties. The price of the paid version is only $10 a year. It seems to be worth it (I've upgraded it for personal use).

It is an open source solution, so there is nothing suspicious about it. You can even host it on your own server and create a password solution for your organization. In addition, you will get all the necessary features, such as two-step authentication for login, import / export credentials, fingerprint phrase (unique key), password generator, and so on.

You can upgrade your account to an organization account for free so that you can share your information with up to 2 users. However, if you want additional encrypted storage and the ability to share passwords with five users, the fee for the upgrade is as low as $1 a month. I think it's definitely worth a try!

2 、 Buttercup

Main highlights:

Open source is free, there is no way to pay. Cross-platform browser extension

This is another open source password manager in Linux. Buttercup may not be a very popular solution. However, if you are looking for an easier way to save credentials, this would be a good start. Unlike other software, you don't have to doubt the security of its cloud server, because it only supports offline use and supports connections to cloud services such as Dropbox, OwnCloud, Nextcloud and WebDAV.

Therefore, if you need to synchronize data, you can choose a cloud service. You have different choices.

3 、 KeePassXC

Main highlights:

Open source simple password manager cross-platform without mobile device support

KeePassXC, a community branch of KeePassX, was originally a Linux portable version of KeePass on Windows.

Unless you don't realize it, KeePassX hasn't been maintained for years. Therefore, if you are looking for an easy-to-use password manager, then KeePassXC is a good choice. KeePassXC may not be the prettiest or best password manager, but it does do what needs to be done.

It is also secure and open source. I think it's worth a try, don't you think?

4. Enpass (non-open source)

Main highlights:

Proprietary software has many features, including support for "wearable" devices. Linux is completely free (with paid support)

Enpass is a very popular cross-platform password manager. Even if it is not an open source solution, there are still a lot of people who rely on it. Therefore, it is at least certain that it is feasible. It provides a lot of features, and if you have a wearable device, it can also support it, which is rare.

It's nice to see that Enpass is actively managing packages for Linux distributions. In addition, note that it only applies to 64-bit systems. You can find the official installation instructions on its website. It needs to use a terminal, but I tested it step by step, and it works very well.

5. Myki (non-open source)

Main highlights:

Proprietary software does not use CVM to store passwords and focus on local point-to-point synchronization can replace passwords with fingerprint ID on mobile devices.

This may not be a popular suggestion, but I find it interesting. It is a proprietary software password manager that allows you to avoid using cloud servers and rely instead on peer-to-peer synchronization.

Therefore, if you do not want to use any cloud server to store your information, then it suits you. It is also worth noting that the programs for Android and iOS allow you to replace passwords with fingerprint ID. If you want to be easy to use on your phone and have the basic functions of desktop password manager, this seems to be a good choice.

However, if you choose to upgrade to a paid version, there is a payment plan for you to judge, which is by no means cheap. Give it a try and let us know how it is!

Some other password managers worth talking about

Even if there is no standalone application for Linux, there are still some password managers worth mentioning.

If you need to use a browser-based (extended) password manager, it is recommended that you try using LastPass, Dashlane and 1Password. LastPass even provides a Linux client (and command line tools). If you are looking for a command line password manager, you should try Pass.

Password Safe is also an option, but its Linux client is still in the beta phase. I do not recommend relying on "beta" programs to store passwords. There is also Universal Password Manager, but it is no longer maintained. You may have heard of Password Gorilla, but it is not actively maintained.
