Remmina Passwords

Remmina Passwords

When you save the password in the config for a remote connection, where does it go?

I was remote to my work station and needed to find the password for a remote VNC account. Usually they’re in my password manager, but this time I must have been remiss and I didn’t know what it was.

I know the configs are stored under ~/.local/share/remmina, but there are no passwords in there.

After some trawling, the answer is simple.

secret-tool search --all key password|less

This listed all the configs and passwords for me to search through.

I’m using Manjaro, but the instructions here worked for me without needed to install anything.
