Recently the community-oriented password manager KeePassXC made a new major release, 2.5.0.

In this new release there was a really important change, the implementation of the secrets API from Freedesktop.

This is oversimplified

For those that don’t know, the secrets API is a specification for storing and querying secrets (duh) like passwords, tokens and ssh keys, and really anything you wanted.

After getting pleasantly surprised that someone else updated the keepassxc package on Alpine Linux, I decided to enable keepassxc as my system-keyring instead of gnome-keyring
