Integrate libsecret to enable access to GNOME or KDE keyring #440

@lofidevops

Description

@lofidevops

libsecret is a GNU/Linux library used to access the GNOME or KDE keyring, including passwords, SSH keys, GPG certificates and more. Given that KeePassXC stores similar data (passwords), would libsecret integration offer any benefits? Or are the goals of a keyring and a password manager distinct?

  • KeePassXC treats the system keyring as a KeePass database via libsecret
  • The system treats a KeePassXC database as a keyring via libsecret
  • Master passwords for KeePassXC databases are stored in the system keyring, allowing for invisible unlocking when the user is logged in
  • ...something else?
