A month ago, I started working on a new application to manage your passwords in Plasma. And while still at a PoC status, this weekend, it finally started to look like something almost usable, so it sounded like a good occassion to write a small blog post about it.
This is really cool, a sensible approach from the technical point of view, and much needed.
I am noticing that this early version of Keychain reuses some of the same UI designs and terminology as the original KeypassXC, which I think is too technical for a default application that we’ll throw into every user’s face once they try to enter a wifi password. Hopefully this can be streamlined for users that don’t know how to go about “databases”, encryption settings, and “Root” containing a bunch of entries.
When I think that I am missing something in plasma by default, I go to kde discuss or adventure linux and understand that the developers have already added what I need in new versions. On May 30th, I installed kde on the main machine and the only thing I didn’t find by default and cool is the password manager in KDE. Thank you devs.
AWESOME!!! 
I am using KeyPassXC and to have all this functionality in KDE Plasma would be bananas cool! Thank you, Carl!
KWallet is probably my least favorite program to use in the KDE Gear suite because it’s clunky and I’m not even sure what I’m doing. It definitely needs a modern replacement to bring it up to speed with what we need and expect in a password manager.
Yes, and I agree that it will need some refining to ensure that the interface is not too dorky. Little things like displaying the “file://” protocol handler for a simple local file when displayed as “file:///home/carl/Documents/Passwords.kdbx” … like why do average non-technical users need to see “file://” when it’s just a local file? Network shares, sure, I can see the need. Anyway, great work!!!
Looks great! Hopefully browser support (Firefox please) is on the roadmap. Being able to autofill from within a web browser is the defining feature whether this will be able to replace my current password manager.
