    @Isaac Mena Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A. I understand that you have issues with connecting password manager to Storage explorer in Linux.

    Please refer a similar issue discussed here- https://github.com/microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1887

    As per that doc, here are the steps followed:

    • Install storage-explorer using snap
    • Run sudo snap connect storage-explorer:password-manager-service :password-manager-service
    • Install gnome-keyring
    • Install seahorse
    • Open seahorse and toggle the padlock icon for the Default keyring

    Please let me know if this helps and/or if you need any other assistance and we will be glad to assist further. Thank you!

    Hi @SaiKishor-MSFT unfortunatelly I can't use snap as I'm not running a systemd init system in my linux environment, I'm running openrc and as far as I know, snap can't be used with openRC, I'll try installing seahorse and give a try installing snap probably running snap connect command doesn't requires init system depenencies.

    @Isaac Mena Upon further investigation, if you are using tar.gz install, you will need to install additional dependencies for Storage Explorer to work on Linux. Please follow tar.z section in troubleshooting guide here- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-explorer-troubleshooting?tabs=Windows%2C2004#targz-file

    Please do let us know if this helps or if you need any further assistance. Thank you!
