Linux Desktop

 Hi, I'm a newbie to this forum, but a long time Msecure user. I couldn't find any reference to Linux in the Forum discussions, so I'd like to request a Linux version of Msecure desktop. I can't bring myself to install Windows 10 and of course Msecure Desktop doesn't install on XP. But I've been migrating to Linux, and would love to take Msecure 5 with me. Thanks

Thanks your feedback Stephen! Unfortunately, we still don't have plans for a Linux version of mSecure.

+1 for debian based system. [Linux is the future]

+1 for (debian based).

:)

+1 -- I would love to see support for Linux, or at least for a Chrome browser plugin that works on Linux.

I would love to see this too.  I'm a Debian 9 Cinamon/i3 and Fedora 29 Cinamon/i3.  I use linux at home and at work.

Hello All,


I 2nd this request and I a currently running Manarjo Linux and would be open to testing as well. I have tried getting the client running in Wine and that works however it cannot sync with the database.


Thanks!

++ I would also like to see a Linux desktop client.  I am currently running Fedora 27, Cent 7, Mint 16.  I have used mSecure for many years and would like to take advantage of 5 features on my systems.

Thanks,
Rick

 

Hi Eden, and thanks for the welcome. I'm using Debian 8.7 Cinnamon for my Unix system. I know that I'm a bit of a dinosaur regarding XP, but it is very stable, and I'm really not a fan of Microsoft's heavy handed restrictions on the newer OSs. Still, it's getting harder to keep using XP, so I'm looking for alternatives to some of my favorite, and constantly used programs. Bottom line is that I'll give up programs to avoid moving to another MS product. So I hope that the Linux community will start waving the flag and clamoring for Msecure for their systems. By the way, I think that the cloud is a security disaster waiting to happen, so it's notan option for me as far as backups or syncronization goes.  Having said all that, I hope that Msecure can see its way to a LInux version, because I think it's a great product.

I have been using msecure 5 happily on my androids and OSX mojave computers.


Since BigSur now introduced the brilliant idea to send hashes at any OSX app starts (and whatever else) I decided to stop using OSX and I already migrated the (luckily mainly java based) stuff from that OSX BigSur to an Ubuntu 20 on the same iMac hardware. Works like a charm. But now every time I need to grab a password I need to switch via e.g. nomachine to another OSX computer having an mSecure instance running. Even if mSeven did not "prioritize" it, now missing mSecure on the linux computer is a real loss of time for me (sorry).


So please CONSIDER seriously  ASAP the linux platform!


Thanks and nice work so far :)

I used to use evernote and the lack of a Linux client was not so much of a problem because the Web interface was pretty decent. Might that happen?

@Robert Unfortunately, at this time, I don't foresee us building a Linux version of mSecure anytime soon. It's possible it could happen in the future, but now is definitely not the time to take on this type of venture. I do thank you for your feedback, and I'm sorry I don't have better news.

Also would like a Linux version of mSecure.  Have been using mSecure on W10/7 etc for many years but time to move to Linux and so, unfortunately it seems, will have to move away from mSecure.


Thanks,

Sstill no use (anymore) of msecure.  Secure "own solution" adopted. Sorry, enjoy the "happy" and "unaware"  OSX/Windows/Iphone/Android customers.

Still no plans for Linux, but browser plugins will be here for Mac at first release of v6 and will be available for Windows in a future release of v6.

Make an amazing solution better by supporting LINUX ....


Please reconsider a LINUX version and especially for Ubuntu.... your competitors offer this and Browser plug-ins!
