KeeWeb is a free and open source password manager that allows you to securely store and manage your passwords. Here's how to install KeeWeb on your Elementary OS.
Open your web browser and go to the KeeWeb website: keeweb.info/">https://keeweb.info/
Click on the "Download" button to download the latest version of KeeWeb.
Choose "Linux (64-bit)" since we're installing it on the Elementary OS which needs a 64-bit package.
Once the download is complete, open the Downloads folder and find the KeeWeb zip file (it should be named "KeeWeb-1.15.6.linux.x64.zip" or similar).
Right-click on the file and select "Extract Here".
Open the extracted folder and double-click on the "KeeWeb" file.
A warning will appear saying that this file is executable. Click "Execute".
KeeWeb should start and you can start using it to manage your passwords.
Open the "Terminal" application.
Type the following command to create a desktop file for KeeWeb:
nano ~/.local/share/applications/keeweb.desktop
Type or copy and paste the following lines into the Nano editor:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Name=KeeWeb
Exec=/path/to/keeweb/KeeWeb
Icon=/path/to/keeweb/icon.png
Replace "/path/to/keeweb/" with the actual path to the KeeWeb folder, and replace "/path/to/keeweb/icon.png" with the actual path to the KeeWeb icon file.
Save the desktop file by pressing "Ctrl + O" and then "Enter".
Exit the Nano editor by pressing "Ctrl + X".
Refresh the applications menu by typing the following command in the Terminal:
update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications
You should now be able to find KeeWeb in your applications menu.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed KeeWeb on your Elementary OS and added it to your applications menu. Start using KeeWeb to securely store and manage your passwords.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
