AuthPass is an open-source password manager for Android, iOS, Linux, Mac OS, and Windows. It is secure and a great way to save your passwords and sensitive information. In this guide, we\u2019ll show you how to set up AuthPass on Linux and how to use it too.<\/p>\n

Installing AuthPass on Linux<\/h2>\n

AuthPass supports Linux through the Ubuntu Snap store. However, they also have a generic TarGZ release for those that would prefer not to install the Snap release of the app.<\/p>\n

To install AuthPass on your Linux PC, start by opening up a terminal window. You can open up a terminal window on the Linux desktop by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard. Or, search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu and launch it that way.<\/p>\n

With the terminal window open, the installation of AuthPass can begin. Using the installation instructions below, get the AuthPass app up and running on your computer.<\/p>\n

Snap package<\/h4>\n

AuthPass is available for all Linux users as a Snap package in the Ubuntu Snap Store. The Snap store is a great way to go for this app, as the developers can push out fast updates instantaneously.<\/p>\n

To install AuthPass on your system as a Snap package, you will need to have the Snapd runtime configured on your computer. Setting up the Snapd runtime is relatively easy. Follow our guide on how to set up Snaps for more information.<\/p>\n

With the Snap package runtime set up on your Linux computer, install AuthPass using the\u00a0snap install<\/strong> command down below.<\/p>\n

\nsudo snap install authpass\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
If you\u2019re on Arch Linux, you\u2019ll be able to install the AuthPass TarGZ release on your computer via the AUR. Using the pacman<\/strong> command and set up the \u201cgit\u201d and \u201cbase-devel\u201d packages to start the installation.<\/p>\n
sudo pacman -S git base-devel<\/p>\n
With the two packages installed, it is time to set up the Trizen AUR helper. This program will automate the installation of AuthPass from the AUR, so you do not have to do it by hand.<\/p>\n
\ngit clone https:\/\/aur.archlinux.org\/trizen.git\ncd trizen\/\nmakepkg -sri\n<\/pre>\n
Now that the Trizen application is set up on your computer use the trizen -S<\/strong> command to get the AuthPass application working on your computer.<\/p>\n
\ntrizen -S authpass-bin\n<\/pre>\n
Generic Linux<\/h4>\n
The generic Linux release of AuthPass doesn\u2019t require any installation. Instead, it can be launched as soon as it is downloaded. Here\u2019s how to get the generic version of AuthPass working on your Linux computer.<\/p>\n
First, use the wget<\/strong> download command to grab the latest release of AuthPass from GitHub.<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/github.com\/authpass\/authpass\/releases\/download\/v1.9.4\/authpass-linux-1.9.4_1872.tar.gz\n<\/pre>\n
Next, extract the AuthPass TarGZ archive using the tar xvf<\/strong> command.<\/p>\n
\ntar xvf authpass-linux-1.9.4_1872.tar.gz\n<\/pre>\n
Upon extracting the AuthPass TarGZ archive, a folder named \u201cauthpass\u201d will appear in your home folder. Using the CD<\/strong> command, move into this folder. Then, start up the app using .\/authpass<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\ncd ~\/authpass\/\n.\/authpass\n<\/pre>\n
How to use the AuthPass password manager<\/h2>\n
To set up AuthPass on your Linux computer, start by opening the app. With the app open, follow the step-by-step instructions below.<\/p>\n
Step 1:<\/strong> Inside of AuthPass, find the \u201cNew to KeePass\u201d button and click on it with the mouse. Selecting this option will allow you to create a new password database.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/strong> Upon selecting the \u201cNew to KeyPass\u201d button, a new window will appear. In it, you\u2019ll be asked to name your new database and set a secure master password.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Be sure to use a memorable and secure password. Do not lose this password, as you will not be able to reset it! However, do not write it down on a piece of paper, as someone could gain access to your password vault.<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/strong> After writing in your new master password, find the \u201cCreate Database\u201d button and click on it with the mouse. Once you\u2019ve selected the button, the database will be created.<\/p>\n
Step 4:<\/strong> With the new database made, AuthPass will ask you to add a new password. Click on the \u201cAdd Password\u201d button inside the app to add a new password to AuthPass.<\/p>\n
Step 5:<\/strong> Find the \u201cTitle\u201d box, and write in the name of the login you\u2019re adding to AuthPass.<\/p>\n
Step 6:<\/strong> Locate the \u201cUser\u201d text box, and click on it with the mouse. Then, write in the name of the username for the new login you\u2019re adding to AuthPass.<\/p>\n
Step 7:<\/strong> Find the \u201cPassword\u201d box, and click on it with the mouse. Inside the box, write in the password for the login you\u2019re adding to your AuthPass vault.<\/p>\n
Need to generate a new password? Select the menu button to the right of the \u201cPassword\u201d field, and select the \u201cPassword Generator\u201d button.<\/p>\n
Step 8:<\/strong> Find the \u201cWebsite\u201d text box, and click on it with the mouse. Then, paste the website URL into the text box.<\/p>\n
When you\u2019ve added all the information to your new AuthPass entry, click on the save icon to save it. Repeat this process to add more items to your AuthPass password box.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
