Password protection tool: KeePassX of Ubuntu

As security issues become more and more important, the more secure passwords are (such as multi-step authentication), the more important this is. As a result, I recently tried several security password managers to find a secure, easy-to-use, cross-platform application. First, I tried LastPass. LastPass is probably the most well-known because it is based on web management passwords and is the most independent of all software. However, I found that its interface is simple, and it is cumbersome to provide too many tools and options. Next

As a result, I recently tried several security password managers to find a secure, easy-to-use, cross-platform application.

First, I tried LastPass. LastPass is probably the most well-known because it is based on web management passwords and is the most independent of all software. However, I found that its interface is simple, and it is cumbersome to provide too many tools and options.

Next, I tried KeePass 2 again. Although it is a well-functional application software, it is very similar to what I will describe below, but the official Linux installation package is not provided and the Community porting version is available, but it is still not the best. So I tried other applications again.

Among all the software I have tried, my favorite isKeePassX. It was originally a KeePass porting version on Linux, but later evolved into an independent application. With a more beautiful and native appearance, KeePassX defeated KeePass 2.

Use KeePassX in Ubuntu

It is convenient that KeePassX has provided software packages installed on ubuntu.

Install KeePassX orInstall from software management center:

• Install KeePassX from the Ubuntu Software Center

Open it after installation, and you will see a blank window. Click the first button in the toolbar to create a new database. You can use the key file or password to protect the database you just created. Generally, you will use a password, because you only need to remember it and enter it-you should enter a long password, so that you can prevent others from using your database.

Next, you have to save it to a location. I saved it in my Dropbox, so that it can be obtained from multiple places. Dropbox uses two-factor authentication, so if someone wants to enter my Dropbox, he has to get my mobile phone. This method is quite safe.

Alternatively, you can use other services, such as Google Drive and Skydrive, both of which can use the authenticator application, or Box, which uses text messages for two-factor authentication.

Of course, if youTrueYou are very concerned about your password. You may not want to store it in other organizations, because in theory the password can be obtained by them.

Main Interface of KeePassX in Ubuntu

This application is quite intuitive and clear. You can add a group and add a password to the group. KeePassX comes with a very convenient Password generator. You can use it when you need to enter a password, instead of having to create one by yourself. I tend to use all the basic characters and special characters to generate my password. The length of the password is 20 characters. Of course, it depends on whether your website is accepted.

Note that some websites do not tell you how long the passwords they accept. They tend to restrict the length of the passwords only in the input box. If the password you paste does not look so long, it is probably not the password you want to enter, but it is truncated. I have encountered this situation several times.
