+Seahorse: Manage Your Passwords & Encryption Keys in Linux
+======
+
+_**Brief:**_ _A simple open-source password and encryption key manager app, let’s explore what it has to offer and how you can get it installed._
+
+We often tend to ignore many default/pre-installed applications, especially when numerous tools and utilities are baked in.
+
+One such helpful tool that you can use on various Linux distributions is **GNOME’s Seahorse**.
+
+### Seahorse: GNOME’s Password &amp; Encryption Key Manager
+
+![][1]
+
+Primarily, Seahorse is an application that comes pre-installed with GNOME desktop and tailored for the same.
+
+However, you can use it on just about any Linux distribution of your choice. 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. Even though it looks straightforward, there are a few essential features that you may find useful.
+
+Of course, you should also explore some of the [best password managers available for Linux][3] if your priority doesn’t involve managing encryption keys (or local storage).
+
+### Features of Seahorse
+
+While you can easily use it as a local (offline) password manager, there are a couple of things that you can do with Seahorse to step up your security management when dealing with encryption keys as well.

+
+Some key highlights are:
+
+  * Ability to store Secure Shell key (used to access remote computers/servers)
+  * Store GPG keys used to secure emails and files
+  * Supports adding password keyring for application and networks
+  * Securely store private key of a certificate
+  * Store a password / secret phrase
+  * Ability to import files and quickly store them
+  * Find remote keys
+  * Sync and publish keys
+  * Ability to find/copy VPN password
+

+
+### Installing Seahorse in Linux
+
+If you are using a GNOME-based distribution, you should already have it installed. You need to look for “Seahorse” or “Passwords” to find it.
+
+In other cases, you can search for it in the software center. It should work fine with KDE, LXQt, and different desktop environments as per my quick tests.
+
+![][6]
+
+Moreover, you can find its [Flatpak package][7] available. So, no matter the Linux distribution you are using, Seahorse can be installed.
+
+If you are using Arch Linux, you should also find it in [AUR][8].
+

+What do you think about using Seahorse to replace other password managers? Were you already using it to manage encryption keys? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
