   Password Gorilla: Password Gorilla is an open source, cross-platform, simple password manager and personal vault that can store login information and notes. Password Gorilla is a Tcl/Tk application that runs on Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. Login information is stored in the database, which can be accessed only using a master password. The passwords are SHA256 protected and the database is encrypted using the Twofish algorithm. The key stretching feature makes it difficult for brute force attacks.
