[Bug 41179]

[Martin Schröder]

I think we have to differenciate between two levels:
- The ability to *securely* store passwords (with a master password or a key provided by the system's key manager)
- The ability to securely *store passwords in the system's key manager*, where all my passwords live.

I favor the second option. I'm not concerned about moving passwords between different systems (that should happen rarely). And if I happen to use multiple devices: That's what Sync is for.
I am concerned about storing my passwords in a way that I trust: my system's key ring (storing keys is it's only purpose and I think it should be good at it).

Of course the thoughts in the link posted above[1] are also good ones.
