Save passwords in a local file system
 

Hi,

I have a number of usernames and passwords current saved a plain text
file. I remember that that there are some password management tools to
encrypt the user/pass info. I don't call what the tool is. Would you
please let me know what tools are available for saving usernames and
passwords?

I like KeePassX

I use Revelation Password Manager but may switch to KeePassX.

I use pwman. It requires you to have a GPG key, as the passwords are
stored in an XML file that is encrypted using a specified GPG private
key.

pwman is a sourceforge project (the home page is
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pwman/), but because I was supporting
pwman on several systems (most running 64-bit Ubuntu), I have a derived
version available in my PPA - see
https://launchpad.net/~timfrost/+archive/ppa

pwman is text-based (using curses/ncurses in a terminal window), rather
than a web or X-based application. If you want a graphical tool,
KeePassX may be a better option. KeePassX is in the ubuntu repositories
as keepassx.
