- mike_hearn 2y ago[vouched to bring your post back from the dead] Yes that's true but the secrets API isn't really that useful last time I looked. It isn't capable of stopping one app reading the secrets of another, which makes it little different to just a regular file stored in the user's $HOME
- akimbostrawman 2y agoim not sure how much access each application has over the entire secret store however it does ask the user before allowing access which is still better than a plain user readable file in home. https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kwalletmanager/kwallet5/kwalletmanager5.html https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kwalletmanager/kwallet5/kwal...
