Keeweb - Password Manager for Linux

Keeweb - Password Manager for Linux
Today , we rely on more and more online services. Every time we sign up for an online service, we set a password; thus, we have to remember hundreds of passwords. This makes it easy for everyone to forget the password. Well, the following Brothers (www.lampbrother.net) will introduce Keeweb in this article, Keeweb is a password manager under Linux that can safely store all your passwords for you offline or online.

When it comes to Linux password managers, we will find many such software. We have already discussed password managers like Keepass and Encryptr, a zero-knowledge system based password manager on LinuxAndUbuntu. Keeweb is another Linux password manager that we will cover in this article.

Keeweb can store passwords offline or online

Keeweb is a cross-platform password manager. It stores all your passwords offline and syncs to your own cloud storage services like 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" in the interface, and then click the service you want to use.

Now, Keeweb will prompt you to log in to your cloud drive. After successful login, authorize Keeweb to use your account.

Storing passwords

with Keeweb It is very easy to store your passwords with Keeweb. You can encrypt your password file with a complex password. Keeweb also allows you to use a key file to lock the password file, but this method is not recommended here. If someone gets your key file, he can unlock your password file with a simple click.

create password

To create a new password, you simply click on the + sign and you will see all the input boxes to fill. Create as many password records as you need.

Searching for passwords

Keeweb has a library of icons so you can easily find a variety of specific password records. You can change the color of the icons, download more icons, and even import icons directly from your computer. This works great for password searches.

Passwords for similar services can be grouped so you can find them in one folder. You can also tag passwords and store them in different categories.

Theme

If you like a bright theme like white or high contrast, you can modify it in "Settings > General > Themes". (Keeweb) There are four themes to choose from, two dark and two light.

Don't like Linux password managers? Well, the other two Linux password managers, Keepass and Encryptr, have had some debate about them on Reddit and other social media. Some people are against the use of any password manager, and others are against it. In this article, Band of Brothers wants to clarify that it is our own responsibility to store the password file. 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 with an app like VeraCrypt. I personally don't use nor recommend services that store passwords in their own database.
