GNOME Keyring is a software application designed to store security credentials such as usernames,[1] passwords,[1] and keys, together with a small amount of relevant metadata. The sensitive data is encrypted and stored in a keyring file in the user's home directory. The default keyring uses the login password for encryption, so users don't need to remember another password.[2]
As of 2009, GNOME Keyring was part of the desktop environment in the operating system OpenSolaris.[1]
GNOME Keyring is implemented as a daemon and uses the process name gnome-keyring-daemon. Applications can store and request passwords by using the libsecret library which replaces the deprecated libgnome-keyring library.
GNOME Keyring is part of the GNOME desktop. As of 2006, it integrated with NetworkManager to store WEP passwords.[3] GNOME Web and the email client Geary uses GNOME Keyring to store passwords.[4]
On systems where GNOME Keyring is present, software written in Vala can use it to store and retrieve passwords.[5] The GNOME Keyring Manager (gnome-keyring-manager) was the first user interface for the GNOME Keyring. As of GNOME 2.22, it is deprecated and replaced entirely with Seahorse.[6]
