About Seahorse
Seahorse, shown in GNOME as Passwords and Secrets, is the desktop app for managing what GNOME stores in its keyring. It lets you view and manage saved passwords, as well as PGP/GPG keys and SSH keys, from one window.
It is part of the GNOME project and is licensed under the GNU GPL v2.0 or later. It suits GNOME users who want a graphical way to inspect saved credentials and handle encryption keys without the command line.
