2.4.3 Changing Your Password
For security reasons, it is a good idea to change your login password from time to time.

1 Click Computer > Control Center > Personal > Change Password.
2 Type your old (current) password.
3 Type your new password.
4 Confirm your new password by typing it again, then click OK.
2.4.4 Managing Keyrings
GNOME Keyring Manager provides an interface for viewing secrets stored in keyrings
on your computer. Secrets include such items as:
• Passwords
• Wireless credentials
• Certificates
• Credentials for logging in to another computer
Most users will not need to use GNOME Keyring Manager because secrets are automat-
ically managed by the applications that create them. Whenever any GNOME application
that uses GNOME Keyring needs to access passwords or credentials stored there, a
check is made if the keyring is locked or not. If it is locked, you will be prompted for
the master password to unlock the keyring.
To open Keyring Manager (independent of any application interaction) press Alt + F2
and enter gnome-keyring-manager.
To delete a secret:
1 In the list of keyrings on the left side of Keyring Manager, click Default.
