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

Hi Ted,

Welcome to our forum and thank you for the feature request. What distro are you using on Linux? Ubuntu? Since it sounds like you're using XP which is practically ancient, perhaps you've opted for a less system intense flavor of Ubuntu such as Kubuntu or Lubuntu. Of the Ubuntu variants I'm really enjoying Ubuntu Bungie at the moment. LXLE is a great distro for older computers.


This feature request has been requested by several users (about 20 users in our last forum system). However, we are unlikely to create a Linux version of mSecure unless there is just overwhelming demand for a Linux version. However, we will be releasing browser plugins of mSecure 5, and I am hoping we are able to release a fully independent version of our plugin which would allow users to use our browser plugin on Chrome and(or) Firefox on any system. A fully independent browser plugin would require the use our our mSecure Cloud feature though. 


Again, thank you for the request and I'm sorry I don't have better news here. 

Hi mSecure,
I have been a user of mSecure for around 10 + years. It is serving me very well. I am looking for a Linux version of mSecure (Debian/Ubuntu) as I am looking to move to Linux from Windows. I am the type of person who likes to manage and look after my own data, and I do NOT trust Microsoft any more eg Windows 11, so after 37 years, its time for a change.

I can find either Linux versions of most software or alternatives to it, except for mSecure. 

I note some of your entries above are from 5 years ago, hopefully the demand has increased.

+3 for Linux,  my son, my daughter and myself,  all use Linux as our primary desktop OS.  Thanks

Hi Rustam,

Thank you for your input in this topic.

Ubuntu version of msecure please  :)

Hi Ken,

Thank you for the input and if we see a mass increase of people requesting this for mSecure, we will look into this further.

Another Vote for a Linux app (Linux Mint Debian Edition here.)

I've seen various discussions on YouTube and other places that with the pending EOS for Windows 10, the installed base of Linux is growing as folks are avoiding Windows 11.

Just adding my vote to creating a Linux version of the mSecure app but I understand that it wouldn't be as much of a priority.

@Robert Unfortunately, we still don't have plans at this time to port mSecure over to Linux.

I just want to add my request for a Linux version of mSecure. I notice the first mention for this is about 6 years ago. Surely coding it for Linux isn't a huge cost to resources after all this time. It is programming after all. I could do it.

@John, @Dougie Thank you both for your feedback. @John, I wasn't even aware you could run a full-blown Windows install on Linux. We had a user ask about a side-loadable version to try to run on a Mint distro, but he was not able to get it working. I'll have to let people know about using Virtualbox to get mSecure on Linux. I know, not the most elegant solution, but at least it's possible =)

I'm considering migrating from Windows 10 to Linux Mint and the only thing holding me back now is mSecure. I've been using mSecure via local sync to share secure information (bank, credit card, login, etc) with my wife. We're still using mSecure 4 on our phones and 3.5 on our Windows machines. We would very much like a Linux version of mSecure, which we'll gladly pay for.
