Comment 22 for bug 41179

I'd be very delighted to see this functionality. And as I am a GNOME user this would fix things quite nicely. However some people use KDE and even cruder stuff... They'd like to have support for kwallet or some other keyring manager... I'd like to change this bug to a more generic description.

... and then there is bug #75850 that is just the same bug as this one only that it is filed against pidgin ...

And I begin to wonder if there is not any standard abstract infrastructure for managing passwords. I think there are quite some applications that could make use of a proper password manager...

So to be more precise:
a) do we have a desktop environment independent password management infrastructure?
b) should we have one?
c) should theses bugs be kept separate or should they be united?
