Revelation Password Manager for Gnome

Posted by gmendoza on June 23, 2007 under Tech Tips | Read the First Comment

If you have a large number of passwords, it would be a good idea to write them on a sticky pad and put them on your monitor or secretly under your keyboard. ;-)

Or better yet, you can use a nifty password manager for the Linux platform call Revelation. It’s written for tight integration with the Gnome desktop environment.

The passwords are stored in an encrypted XML file, protected by AES encryption and of course a master passphrase.

It has most of the core functionality one would expect from a mature password manager, including a nice internal directory structure to organize your data, copy and paste, and customizable viewing options.

Definitely worth checking out. Ubuntu 7.04 universe repositories have the latest version available for download.

$ sudo apt-get install revelation

Launch it from Applications -> Accessories -> Revelation Password Manager.

    I just upgraded from Fedora 12 to Fedora 15. It’s not a pain free experience. After I solved the initial set of broken functionality, I discovered that you guys redesigned your password storage files such that I can’t read the my old file anymore. Would it have been that difficult to provide an import capability that could recognize older files? Sorry, if I sound snippy, but I can’t understand why you would subject your users to this inconvenience unless you were trying to discourage then from using your program. At least provide a program to convert the old files to ascii, so I could re-key them.
