Cloud Password Manager across Android and Ubuntu
We all have a lot of passwords to remember. So I needed an elegant password manager which I could access from my Android phone and Ubuntu net book, while data between the two being in sync.
If you are looking for something similar, I suggest you give this a try! :::
After going through a lot of options I chose this: Pocket by Tim Clark
Install this on your android device:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.citc.wallet&hl=en
Once installed it will ask you for a Drop-box account. Since this uses Drop-box as cloud service, it is completely free. You need to provide your drop-box login on your phone and create a 'Secure Wallet' directory there.
Now you should be able to run Pocket on your Android phone. now for your machine.
On your Linux machine, download the following jar files for the same application from developer's website:

Similarly, you need to install Drop-box on your Linux machine (if you haven't, you'll love this once you use it! )
To run it on Linux, simply place to the directory in ~/DropBox/SecureWallet
Run the following command in terminal
cd /
java -jar /home/<your user name>/Dropbox/SecureWallet/pocket_1.4.jar
Make changes as applicable.
There you go, a single neat cloud application for managing your passwords completely free and open source!
In my next post read how to run pocket.jar from your unity main menu with a single click!
