![]() I don’t know how well seahorse stacks up against the above requirements or anyone else’s requirements. ![]() The ideal answer would be one that is well-integrated with the underlying system, including being able to be protected by an ‘hardware’ security token (like a Librem Key). Some people though really want the network / synch side of it. You can of course provide your own server. It can’t be fully open source if you rely on an external server for network integration / synchronisation. I have never been comfortable enough with that idea - so it would be local database for me. Sub-question: Is it a good idea to use a password manager with network integration / synchronisation? Overall, yes, I would say using a password manager is a good idea. Poorly integrated also, so you always need to type in the password, which can be error prone and may encourage slightly weaker passwords. If your threat model includes government agencies or other criminal organisations then this is not a secure option. Can be inconvenient if you need a password while out and about. Some home locations might be inappropriate for this. A work location is inherently less secure (more threatened) than a home location. Writing them all down? That’s a fairly secure to very secure option, depending on your threat model. However forgetting passwords may be a problem, particularly if not used for a while - and it could encourage sloppy habits like using weaker passwords or reusing passwords. If you’re curious, you can just explore the official download page for the available packages and check out their GitHub page for the source code as well.Is it a good idea to use a password manager?

That’s the most secure option. ![]() In addition to that, you also get an Ubuntu PPA, Debian package, Fedora package, and Arch package. In either case, you will also find a snap available for it. I’d suggest you to check out our guide on using AppImage files in Linux if you didn’t know already. You can also get the AppImage file from the official website. You should find it listed in your software center of the distribution you’ve installed. So, I’d advise you to properly explore it if you want to utilize every option present.
