Today, we rely on more and more online services. Every time we register for an online service, we need to set a password; thus, we have to remember hundreds of passwords. This makes it easy for everyone to forget their password. In this article I will introduce Keeweb, a Linux password manager that can safely store all your passwords offline or online.
When it comes to Linux password managers, we will find that there are many such software. We have discussed password managers like Keepass and Encryptr, a password manager based on a zero-knowledge system, on LinuxAndUbuntu . Keeweb is another Linux password manager that we will explain in this article.
Keeweb can store passwords offline or online
Keeweb is a cross-platform password manager. It can store all your passwords offline and sync to your own cloud storage service, such as OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc. Keeweb does not provide its own online database to synchronize your passwords.
To use Keeweb to connect to your online storage service, just click "more" on the interface, and then click on the service you want to use.
Now, Keeweb will prompt you to log in to your cloud drive. After successfully logging in, authorize Keeweb to use your account.
Use Keeweb to store passwords
Storing your passwords is very easy with Keeweb. You can encrypt your password file using a complex password. Keeweb also allows you to use a key file to lock the password file, but I don't recommend this method. If someone gets hold of your key file, he can unlock your password file with a simple click.
Create a password
To create a new password, you simply click on +the symbol and you will see all the input boxes that need to be filled in. Create more password records as needed.
Search password
Keeweb has a library of icons so you can easily find various specific password records. You can change the color of the icons, download more icons, and even import icons directly from your computer. This is extremely useful for password searches.
Passwords for similar services can be grouped so you can find them in a folder. You can also label passwords and store them in different categories.
theme
If you like a bright color theme similar to white or high contrast, you can modify it in "Settings > General > Theme". (Keeweb) has four themes to choose from, two of which are dark and the other two are light.
Don't like Linux password managers? no problem!
I've already written about two other Linux password managers, Keepass and Encryptr, and there's been some debate about them on Reddit and other social media. Some people are opposed to using any password manager, and there are others who believe the opposite. In this article, I want to clarify that storing password files is our own responsibility. I think password managers like keepass and Keeweb are great because they don't have their own cloud to store your passwords. These password managers create a file that you can then store on your hard drive or encrypt it using an app like VeraCrypt. I personally do not use or recommend using services that store passwords in their own databases.
