Revelation (password manager)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Revelation is a graphical password manager for the GNOME desktop, released under the GNU General Public License license. It stores accounts information and passwords in a single encrypted database file.
[edit] Features
- Secure: passwords are stored in an AES-encrypted data file with cipher-block chaining.
- User-friendly: tries to be intuitive, convenient, and HIG-compliant. Has support for drag-and-drop and unlimited undo/redo, and can both generate and test passwords for you. You can also open accounts in external applications, such as a browser, FTP-client, or ssh terminal, with a single click.
- Organized: has several account types, including website, credit card, shell, ftp, and more, which can be stored in a tree-like structure using folders. Accounts can be found quickly and easily with the built-in search.
- Panel applet: has a GNOME panel applet which lets you easily browse or search your accounts without having to start Revelation.
- Remote access: GNOME VFS is used for loading and saving files, so you can access your accounts via ssh, WebDAV, SMB, HTTP, FTP, and much more.
- Import/export: can handle datafiles from Password Safe 1.x and 2.x, GPass 0.4.x and 0.5.x, Figaro's Password Manager, MyPasswordSafe, Password Gorilla, .netrc, XML, and plain text.
- GNOME-integrated: tries to integrate tightly with GNOME - uses the GNOME icon theme, gnome-vfs, session manager, and gconf, and registers menu item and file mimetype for Nautilus.
