Dear All

I am looking for a program to keep track, safely, of one's passwords. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Doesn't Kwallet do all that?

Thanks, Ian. It is intriguing that

$ kwallet
bash: kwallet: command not found

and

# urpmi kwallet
Everything already installed

Kwallet is part of kde.  I presume you do have kde installed?  If I remember 
correctly, the first time you use a password to access anything a dialogue 
box opens asking you if you want to use kwallet.  If you say no at that point 
I think it is disabled.  I'm sure there must be a way to enable it again, 
though.  Meanwhile, to see whether it is installed on your system, run

slocate kwallet

(Slocate may have to be installed first - it's not an automatic part of your 
install, but it's too useful to miss.)

I had tried that before, but with no success. Thanks anyway, Bryan. Is
not there a similar program which I could use?

Figaro's Password manager.

There are two ways I know of and I use both.

1, let KWallet do most of it for you
2. Create a database with your passwords in. Most people have PDAs these days, 
I keep mine on that :)
