What about the wallet? In KDE4 and former KDE3 now Trinity Desktop we use the kwallet now tdewallet to store the passwords. I know gnome has also one, but I don't know it's name. I think each desktop has or should have a kind of integrated password manager. It is worth mentioning this. https://userbase.kde.org/KDE_Wallet_Manager https://utils.kde.org/projects/kwalletmanager/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KWallet regards
