It aims to provide a clean and simple interface to work with. + +![padloc light mode][6] + +Free to start with, but offers paid subscriptions to unlock most features. + +And it supports all the major platforms, including Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. + +You also get browser extensions for Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome with all the available applications. So, you can always choose to access/use it on the web browser as well. + +Interestingly, the project did not see any major updates for almost two years until recently. But, it is an actively maintained open-source project. + +### Features of Padloc + +![padloc active sessions][7] + +Padloc offers a range of free and premium features. As per your requirements, you can choose to upgrade with a paid subscription. + +Some features include: + +* Unlimited vault items +* Unlimited devices +* Two-factor authentication via email +* Add tags +* Generate unique passwords +* Favicon support to identify vault items +* Dark/light mode theme +* Active session management +* Import/Export functionality (encrypted container/ CSV) +* Team support (paid) +* Multi-Factor Authentication (paid) +* Note-taking (paid) +* Document attachments (paid) +* Security report (paid) + +Technically, you get all the essential features. But, to make the most out of it, you will need the premium subscription that starts at **$3.49 per month or $34.9 per year**. + +### Install Padloc on Linux + +![padloc app screenshot 1][8] + +Padloc gives you multiple options for Linux. You can download the AppImage, .deb, Snap, or the Flatpak package. + +Furthermore, you can download a non-electron desktop client version, which is nice! + +I tested the AppImage file, and it worked well. You can follow our guide to [use AppIma][9][ge, set up Flatpak][10], or [install deb packages][11] to get started. + +You can check out its [official website][12] or [GitHub page][13] for more information. + +[Padloc][14] + +### A Slightly Expensive Password Manager for a Good User Experience + +I was impressed with its user interface and the overall experience you get with it. + +If you prioritize the user interface, minimalism, and open-source tech, Padloc can be a useful option, whether you decide to use it for free or pay. + +Of course, if you want something value for money (or cheaper), you can always pick something like [Bitwarden][15]. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://itsfoss.com/padloc/ + +作者：[Ankush Das][a] +选题：[lkxed][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://itsfoss.com/author/ankush/ +[b]: https://github.com/lkxed +[1]: https://itsfoss.com/seahorse/ +[2]: https://itsfoss.com/keepassxc/ +[3]: https://itsfoss.com/bitwarden/ +[4]: https://itsfoss.com/password-managers-linux/ +[5]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/padloc-screenshot.png +[6]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/padloc-light-mode.png +[7]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/padloc-active-sessions.png +[8]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/padloc-app-screenshot-1.png +[9]: https://itsfoss.com/use-appimage-linux/ +[10]: https://itsfoss.com/flatpak-guide/ +[11]: https://itsfoss.com/install-deb-files-ubuntu/ +[12]: https://padloc.app/ +[13]: https://github.com/padloc/padloc +[14]: https://padloc.app/ +[15]: https://itsfoss.com/bitwarden/
