libsecret
=========
A [GObject]-based library for accessing the Secret Service API of the
[freedesktop.org project], a cross-desktop effort to access passwords, tokens
and other types of secrets. libsecret provides a convenient wrapper for these
methods so consumers do not have to call the low-level DBus methods.
The actual Secret Service API spec can be found at
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/secret-service/.
A [GObject]-based library for storing and receiving secrets. libsecret provides
a convenient wrapper around two different mechanisms: If available, secrets are
stored in the freedesktop [secret service]. Otherwise, secrets are stored in a
file that is encrypted using a master secret that was provided by the [secret
portal].
