Hi, problem on a computer, I hope I can fix the following:

on a fresh install of LL 4.6, after all updates etc., with full disc encryption, the Passwords and Keys utility is missing from the menu! How can I get it back, please?

possible cause..? on the previous install that app had been on the desktop, (via - Menu>add to desktop), and I deleted the desktop icon, but surely that never deletes the apps themselves?
Also I Restored the deja dup backup (to original locations), but that shouldn't affect settings, apart from FF etc. profiles...?

I did not use Timeshift restore.

Edit: I am still asked for passwords to keyrings in the normal way, so that's working.
How did you install the software in the first place?
Not sure what you mean. On the previous 4.6 install Passwords & Keys was there after the install, or perhaps it came with Updates, I didn't notice. That install was not FDE.

This install, same computer, same install from same LL 4.0 live usb (checksum ok), FDE, then updates, all as per manual, but no Passwords & Keys appears in menu. But something must be working, as I do get asked to passw unlock key-rings, and that works ok.

Try sudo apt install seahorse, it will appear under Accessories.

Thanks, that took a few seconds.

Q: is it safe to change passwords there, apart from email client ones?
