     @a1ba gnome-keyring/seahorse/kwallet: I can make their agents prompt me for my ssh key when doing a git commit

     @mischievoustomato but it also can ask for ssh key password itself, plus there is ssh-agent to enter password only once for this session

     @a1ba in any case, they also hold other data. Like Chrome, electron session data.

     @mischievoustomato tbh kwallet UI kinda looks like something from kde3 era. It even has the same styled icon
     
     looks okay but compare it to ui of policykit or kdesu stuff and it's just looks a bit dated

     @a1ba @mischievoustomato on the flip side I've *literally never* needed to actually browse the wallet. Programs store and access things there and things just work so I don't monkey with it.
