Description

A credential storage service used by GNOME and many desktop applications to keep passwords, secret tokens, and encryption keys. It lets apps request stored secrets without each one inventing its own storage method.

Keep it installed on desktop systems that use saved passwords or accounts. Because it protects sensitive data, use a secure login password and be cautious with apps that request access to secrets.
