Clipboard Integration

Passwords and Encryption Keys integrates with the clipboard in GNOME desktop. You can quickly encrypt, decrypt, sign, and verify text in the clipboard.

[Note]Enabling Clipboard Integration

The package seahorse-plugins-applet has to be installed to enable clipboard integration. If it is installed, Clipboard Text Encryption applet can be added to the GNOME panel.

To encrypt, decrypt, sign, or verify text using the encryption applet, follow these steps:

  1. Copy the text to be encrypted, signed, decrypted, or verified to the clipboard.

  2. Left-click the encryption applet icon in the panel and choose the appropriate action from the menu.

  3. If you are encrypting, select recipients. If you are signing, select a signer. You may need to enter a passphrase.

  4. You can paste encrypted, decrypted, signed, or verified text where needed.
