Item attributes in gnome-keyring are used to lookup password items. Think of them as the primary key for the item. They are not stored in a secure manner on disk. Do not store anything secret or sensitive in item attributes.
I found an instance of this being done today. The above also applies to libsecret, the Secret Service DBus API, and ksecretservice. In addition, this has always been the case with gnome-keyring, and is not something new. The libsecret documentation and Secret Service API documentation are explicit about this. I've added warnings to the libgnome-keyring documentation as well. These warnings probably should have been there from the beginning :S Cheers, Stef _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
