Too many master passwords : gpg, ssh, kwallet, firefox, ...

[Thomas Carrie]

Like most of us I use firefox, kde, openssh, gnupg, kmail and kopete

All these softwares require additionnal passwords to access various accounts (pop account, jabber account, web site account, ssh private key, ...).

That's why there is software like kwallet that remember your passwords and protect it with a master password, kwallet applies to kmail and kopete but not to firefox, gnupg and openssh.

What a pity

So many master passwords to remember : kwallet, gpgagent, ssh-agent and firefox !

Does any one of you have solution or trick to reduce the number of master passwords ?

Thanks in advance

I use Mypasswordsafe (http://www.semanticgap.com/myps/).

This works kind of like kwallet - it keeps all your paswords in an encrypted file. Unfortunately, it's not in portage, but an an ebuild is here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100985

It's a Linux port of a windows app that I use at work, so I can use the same password file in both places.
