Keep access data secure with Cryptonify
Master Key

Keep track of your login information for web services with Cryptonify.
Mail providers, social networks, online retailers, auction sites, banks, forums, cloud services and many other services on the Internet want to make life easier for registered users – and usually require authentication with a username and password. The more of these services you use, however, the greater the danger of forgetting or mixing up usernames and passwords. The worst-case scenario is not being able to access your Inbox or data stored on the cloud; unlocking these services costs time and effort. Here the Cryptonify program [1] steps into the breach to keep your access data secure.
As a Java application, Cryptonify requires a corresponding run-time environment, either the one from the GNU project or the Oracle original. You can check whether one of the two versions is already installed on your system using the java-version
command in a terminal. If entering the command does not bring a version number to light, you should install the OpenJDK version from the repository of your distribution: This way updates are done automatically when needed. Alternatively, you can use the current Oracle run-time environment [2]. This is no longer included in the distributions' repositories because of the license. Thus, you will need to take care of the necessary updates yourself later.
Getting Started
Cryptonify is available for download for Linux [3] as a 12MB ZIP file. After extracting it, you will find a small shell script in the newly created subdirectory. You can use this shell script to start the software. Manually create a corresponding entry to enable the program by mouse click from a menu.
