1586072 - Password Manager using Secret Service

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, enhancement, P3)

Description

[link.ted]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:69.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/69.0

Expected results:

It would be great if Firefox uses the Secret Service API as an additional Password Manager. The Secret Service is the API that is implemented by the Gnome Keyring and KWallet. I know there is an Add-on1 for the Gnome Keyring, but it is not compatible with the latest Firefox.

For this API Firefox or an Add-on has to communicate with the Session DBus.

This probably supersedes bug 278343

What will happen with this bug, now?

Comment 3

[Till Schäfer]

AFAIK kwallet does not implement secret service. There was initial work on KSecretService, but it never completed.

Comment 4

I would like to add that KeePassXC supports this.

Comment 5

[Celeste Liu [:Coelacanthus]]

KDE support for Secrets Service DBus API is almost done and wait to merge.

Not sure if #1831957 is a duplicate, but this is highly desired feature.

[e-mail], how does that meta bug differ to this one? I can't see what a meta-bug in this context would entail (except implementing this functionality into Thunderbird, perhaps)?

#c10

[e-mail], looks like it. Thanks. I've asked at bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1831957#c2 the author to ascertain whether it is, and if not, specify how it isn't.

Ah, ignore that: just noticed bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1463865#a5568120_397236. Apologies.
