Linux Desktop Release: AuthPass 1.6.3
June 10, 2020
AuthPass can finally run natively on Linux Desktops. This brings all Password Manager features from our Android, iOS and MacOS app finally to Linux 🎉️ 🐧️
It describes the 1.6.3 release and the Launchpad PPA, which has not been
built since 2020 — add-apt-repository ppa:codeux.design/authpass leaves
you with a repository apt cannot read. For current instructions please
see the Linux installation guide.
Installation
AuthPass running in Ubuntu Linux
There are basically two ways to install right now. Either manually downloading the .tar.gz or, if you are using Ubuntu you can install from our apt repository.
AuthPass for Linux is still a bit experimental. If you try it out, please provide feedback. If you find bugs, file a new bug report.
Make sure to create backups for your password database!
Otherwise drop as a line on Twitter or Facebook to let us know that everything is working. 🤣️
Requirements
- Only available for amd64 (ie. 64 bit Linux).
- Requires X11, GTK, etc.
Ubuntu
The Launchpad PPA this post originally described is no longer maintained; its last build was in 2020. AuthPass is now published through an apt repository on packagecloud:
# Add repository
curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/authpass/authpass/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
# Install authpass
sudo apt-get install authpass
This will install a AuthPass entry as desktop menu entry as well as a
authpass command in /usr/bin/authpass
Other Linux Distributions
Just head to the Releases on GitHub and download the Linux .tar.gz file.
Right now this is the 1.6.3 release: https://github.com/authpass/authpass/releases/tag/v1.6.3
