About this application

Passwords and Keys is a GNOME application for managing stored passwords and encryption keys on Linux. It presents keyrings, saved credentials, certificates, and cryptographic keys in a graphical interface, so users can inspect entries and manage them without relying only on command-line tools.

The program is used for tasks such as viewing saved password items, creating and managing keyrings, handling OpenPGP keys, and working with SSH keys. It is part of the GNOME desktop ecosystem and is most relevant on systems that use GNOME services for credential storage. Its purpose is key and password management; it is not a general password manager with browser-focused sharing features unless those are provided by the surrounding desktop environment.
