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.
