Secrets is a password manager designed for the GNOME desktop. It manages encrypted KeePass-compatible databases through a straightforward interface that avoids requiring a hosted account. Databases can be created locally or opened from existing KeePass files, letting users continue working with the same password collection in other compatible applications.
Its interface provides facilities for finding credentials and maintaining entries and groups. Individual records can hold more than a username and password, including notes, attachments and additional fields. The application also provides tools for creating strong passwords and passphrases.
This is free and open source software.
