我们经常倾向于忽视许多默认/预装的应用，尤其是在内置了大量工具和实用程序时。


你可以在各种 Linux 发行版上使用的这样一个有用的工具是 **GNOME 的 Seahorse**。


### Seahorse：GNOME 的密码及加密密钥管理器

主要来说，Seahorse 是一个预装在 GNOME 桌面的应用，并为其量身定做。


然而，你可以在你选择的任何 Linux 发行版上使用它。它是一个简单而有效的工具，可以在本地管理你的密码和加密密钥/钥匙环。


如果你是第一次使用，你可能想读一下 [Linux 中钥匙环的概念](https://itsfoss.com/ubuntu-keyring/)。


如果你不喜欢基于云的密码管理器，Seahorse 可以很好地解决你的要求。尽管它看起来很简单，但有几个基本功能你可能会觉得很有用。


当然，如果你的不太涉及管理加密密钥（或本地存储），你也应该探索一些 [可用于 Linux 的最佳密码管理器](https://itsfoss.com/password-managers-linux/) 。


### Seahorse 的特点


虽然你可以很容易地把它作为一个本地（离线）密码管理器，但在处理加密密钥时，你也可以用 Seahorse 做一些事情来加强你的安全管理。

一些关键的亮点是:


* 能够存储 SSH 密钥（用于访问远程计算机/服务器）
* 存储用于保护电子邮件和文件的 GPG 密钥
* 支持为应用和网络添加密码钥匙环
* 安全地存储证书的私钥
* 存储一个密码/密语
* 能够导入文件并快速存储它们
* 查找远程密钥
* 同步和发布密钥
* 能够查找/复制 VPN 密码

### 在 Linux 中安装 Seahorse


如果你使用的是基于 GNOME 的发行版，你应该已经安装了它。你可以搜索 “Seahorse” 或者 “Passwords” 来找到它。


在其他情况下，你可以在软件中心搜索到它。根据我的快速测试，它在 KDE、LXQt 和不同的桌面环境下应该可以正常工作。

此外，你可以找到它的 [Flatpak 包](https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/org.gnome.seahorse.Application)。所以，无论你使用的是哪种 Linux 发行版，都可以安装 Seahorse。


如果你使用的是 Arch Linux，你也应该在 [AUR](https://itsfoss.com/aur-arch-linux/) 中找到它。

OK
*Brief:**A simple open-source password and encryption key manager app, let’s explore what it has to offer and how you can get it installed.*

We often tend to ignore many default/pre-installed applications, especially when numerous tools and utilities are baked in.

One such helpful tool that you can use on various Linux distributions is **GNOME’s Seahorse**.

## Seahorse: GNOME’s Password & Encryption Key Manager

![seahorse password keys](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/10/seahorse-password-keys.png)

Primarily, Seahorse is an application that comes pre-installed with GNOME desktop and tailored for the same.

However, you can use it on just about any Linux distribution of your choice. It is a simple and effective utility to manage your passwords and encryption keys / keyring locally.

You might want to read about the [concept of keyring in Linux](https://itsfoss.com/ubuntu-keyring/) if it’s a first for you.

If you are not a fan of cloud-based password managers, Seahorse can be a great solution to your requirements. Even though it looks straightforward, there are a few essential features that you may find useful.

Of course, you should also explore some of the [best password managers available for Linux](https://itsfoss.com/password-managers-linux/) if your priority doesn’t involve managing encryption keys (or local storage).

## Features of Seahorse

While you can easily use it as a local (offline) password manager, there are a couple of things that you can do with Seahorse to step up your security management when dealing with encryption keys as well.

Some key highlights are:

- Ability to store Secure Shell key (used to access remote computers/servers)
- Store GPG keys used to secure emails and files
- Supports adding password keyring for application and networks
- Securely store private key of a certificate
- Store a password / secret phrase
- Ability to import files and quickly store them
- Find remote keys
- Sync and publish keys
- Ability to find/copy VPN password

## Installing Seahorse in Linux

If you are using a GNOME-based distribution, you should already have it installed. You need to look for “Seahorse” or “Passwords” to find it.

In other cases, you can search for it in the software center. It should work fine with KDE, LXQt, and different desktop environments as per my quick tests.

Moreover, you can find its [Flatpak package](https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/org.gnome.seahorse.Application) available. So, no matter the Linux distribution you are using, Seahorse can be installed.

If you are using Arch Linux, you should also find it in [AUR](https://itsfoss.com/aur-arch-linux/).
