Figaro’s Password Manager 2 (FPM2) is a desktop utility for maintaining passwords in an encrypted database. It continues the work of Figaro’s Password Manager, originally developed by John Conneely, and offers a GTK interface for organizing website credentials and other login details.
FPM2 is aimed at people who want a straightforward local password collection. It can also act as a simple login bookmark manager, opening the relevant website and making its associated credentials available for copying. The application provides configurable locking behavior and a password generator for creating stronger, less predictable credentials.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
