Why not make it still possible? I see no benefit in retyping password when copying profiles. IMO profile should contain all data user wants it to store (ie. also list of passwords). Anyway do the libsecret supports KDE right now? If it doesn't we could probably cut password store support by this change for KDE users or implement another kwalletd backend. I think storing master password in system keyring manager is making things more loosely coupling. In case system keyring manager doesn't provide master password then we fallback to user input of master password. In case we saved all passwords to keyring and for some reason keyring won't be available users wouldn't have a change to have they passwords pre-filled. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217300 Title: Seahorse integration Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox The Seahorse SSH integration totally rocks!
