Get a cross platform 'Gorilla' for your passwords.

'Password Gorilla' can help you manage all your passwords that you you forget again and again.It is a cross platform application which is a boon if you switch between different OSs.The interface and fonts of 'Password Gorilla' might not please you but that is not really what matters here.Install this application from the 'Synaptic Package Manager' and launch from the 'Accessories' menu.Even with the first run of the program, you would be asked to open a database.Simply click on the 'Cancel' button to enter the main program.


To create a new database of passwords ,click on 'New' in the 'File' menu.You will be asked to provide a master password for the database.To create a new login account within a database, click on the 'Login' menu.A new window allowing you to provide a title , URL ,username and password would appear.Additional notes can also be provided.A random password can also be generated here.Save the database before exiting the program.


Now whenever you require your passwords ,simply open the corresponding database and copy usernames and passwords to clipboard and paste them in their respective fields.This feature of 'Password Manager' makes it pretty safe to use it in the presence of others.
Open 'Preferences' from the 'File' menu to provide the default time after which the clipboard should be cleared.This is set to 0 (never) by default.



It is also important to clear clipboard as quickly as possible.For random password generation,edit he 'Password Policy',that allows you to configure the kind of passwords that are generated.



If you forget the master password ,then things can turn pretty bad.
