GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 627117
Implement master password
Last modified: 2018-08-03 19:19:30 UTC
I want seahorse to always ask for a master password when opening. As it is now, when I forget to lock my screen or when I let somebody else work on my computer, they are able to open seahorse and see all my stored passwords in plain text. I don't want that! Can this be implemented, or is it already possible ? Thanks in advance. I have Ubuntu 10.04.

I know there must be hundreds of ways to get your privacy compromise if some one uses your computer while you are gone, but you don't have to be a computer genius to open seahorse in less than 30 secs. In my opinion, there is different computer levels, I feel I'm just in the desktop level, and the fact that using the mouse is all you have to know to open seahorse and watch somebody else password doesn't feel right to me.
Ubuntu 11.04 , Seahorse 2.32.0, still this (what I think should be basic) functionality is missing.
Here are the current options for having a 'master password': * Locking the screen is your master password. * Create a second keyring (using seahorse), set it to default, and when unlocking, it use a timeout.
