Pretty worthless security wise though. > a far superiour idea ti > this new crazy idea of centeralised password storage Can't agree on crazy since I think secure storage is hard to do and should not be reimplemented again and again. Definitely not new though, KWallet exists since KDE 2 times. Used even for form completion data. > screw one file bing > all your passwords gone True, though I never heard about that have happend.

Should be possible to implement a secret service doing that, maybe gnome- keyring even does? Cheers, Kevin -- Kevin Krammer, KDE developer, xdg-utils developer KDE user support, developer mentoring
