When you create a new password entry, KeePassX can generate a random password for it.
KeePassX has a good user interface, with the password entries organized in folders. KeePassX uses either AES or Twofish encryption for its databases. When you create a new password databases in KeePassX, you can choose to just use a master password, use a key file, or both. For those of you who don't know, KeePassX is a fork of KeePass Password Safe. (Note: This is version 2.0.3 of KeePassX, not the old version 0.4.4) KeePassX is often recommended as a good open-source password manager. It's easy to use, has a good user interface and it has some good features, so I'd say this is a good password manager. So, is KDE Wallet Manager any good? I'd say it is.
From there you can also revoke authorization for applications. You can see all the applications authorized to access the wallet in the Applications tab. Other applications like web browsers can store and access passwords in KDE Wallet Manager. It also has a system tray applet from which you can open and close wallets. The user interface of KDE Wallet Manager is good and simple. KDE Wallet Manager can also import and export wallets as XML files. As I do not have a GPG key setup, I chose the Blowfish encryption method. I have put these in the order in which I reviewed them. Very secure, right? Anyway, this month we're going to have a quick look at the password managers in the repository. Before I wrote this article, I just had a file on my computer listing most of my passwords. Others have many complex passwords that are hard to remember. Some of us only use one password for everything.
