KDE Wallet Manager

KWalletManager gestiona todas tus contraseñas en un archivo cifrado

KWalletManager es una herramienta opcional que puede ayudar enormemente a tu flujo de trabajo mientras se mantiene la seguridad.

• Las Carteras son cifradas con la contraseña que tu elijas
• Las Carteras están, de forma predeterminada, cerradas. Necesitas tu contraseña para abrir una cartera
• Puedes configurar las Carteras para que se cierren cuando no estén en uso
• Tú controlas que aplicaciones pueden usar la cartera - todas las demás tendrán que pedirte la contraseña.

A right-click, context menu on the wallet in kwalletmanager offers maintenance options:

• To create a new wallet
• To open and examine the selected wallet
• To change the passphrase for that wallet
• To disconnect an application currently using that wallet
• To close or delete the wallet

Clicking (or in some versions, double-clicking) on a wallet allows you to examine the contents of a wallet. From here you can remove any entries that you do not wish to be further controlled by the wallet. A further advantage is that it is possible to examine the passwords for individual entries - particularly useful if you have mis-typed a password and stored it. These activities remain secure, since they are only available after you have given the passphrase.

Tip

For greater security configure KWalletManager to use one wallet for local passwords and a separate one for network passwords and form data.
