what is keyring manager?

Hi,

You can view descriptions of various packages by typing "apt-cache show [packagename]" into a terminal window, or on the web at http://packages.ubuntu.com.

The description for gnome-keyring-manager is:

"The GNOME Keyring Manager is an application for managing keyrings, in which any kind of sensitive information can be kept, mainly passwords. The default window shows 'default' keyrings with their stored items, and allows addition, removal and edition.

Secrets can be copied using drag and drop, and can also be moved between different keyrings. The manager also has creation, opening and lock/unlock features."

Hope this helps,

Chris
