CentOS / RHEL: Install gpass Password Manager For GNOME2 Desktop

To install the gpass password manager on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) or CentOS system, you can use the yum package manager to download and install the package from the official repositories.

  1. First, update the package repositories by running the following command:
r‮‬efer to:lautturi.com
sudo yum update
  1. Next, install the gpass package by running the following command:
sudo yum install gpass
  1. Once the installation is complete, you can launch gpass from the command line by typing gpass and pressing Enter. You can also start gpass from the Applications menu in the GNOME desktop environment.

  2. When you start gpass for the first time, it will prompt you to create a new password database. Follow the prompts to create the database and set a master password for it.

  3. Once the database is created, you can use gpass to store and manage your passwords. gpass provides a simple interface for adding, deleting, and editing password entries, as well as generating secure passwords.

Keep in mind that gpass is a simple password manager that stores password data in a plain text file. It is not as secure as more advanced password managers that use encryption to protect the data. Consult the documentation and online resources for more information on how to use gpass and best practices for password management.
