It would nice so we don't have to type every time we login?

That is something I plan on implementing sometime but my biggest concern is how to store the passwords securely. Some programs store them in plain text which I'd prefer not to and encrypting them in a secure way would involve having to input a password to decrypt it which defeats the purpose.

A few options I was thinking of was for Linux to use kwallet and maybe GNOME's keyring. Windows I'm not sure about, I'd have to look around if there's any good password managers available.

Is there a particular password manager that you use and would like integration with?

I would use whatever the desktop environment as default, but plain text seems like the best option for some people that wants to keep their software minimal .

I agree about implenting plain text as an option, it is normally fine and fairly common.

I've added the ability to save in plain text since it is the simplest. Going to fix one small bug and then make a new official release and get the repositories updated. If you are impatient you can always install from source though.

Linux repositories have been updated to the latest version, an update Windows installer will take me a while longer. I'm going to leave this open for now until I fully implement saved passwords with secure backends.

Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora packages have been patched to use webkit instead of webengine since webengine isn't in the official repositories.
