It is a simple and effective utility to manage your passwords and encryption keys / keyring locally. + +You might want to read about the [concept of keyring in Linux][2] if it’s a first for you. + +If you are not a fan of cloud-based password managers, Seahorse can be a great solution to your requirements.
