secrets/credentials/keychain manager? #257

It looks like GNOME is funding development for new GNOME-specific GUI components for oo7

The oo7 core is pure Rust and doesn't appear to have any GNOME specific functionality, and even comes with a portal implementation

It might be cool for COSMIC to also have a GUI over oo7 ?

Even setting aside oo7, it could be nice for COSMIC to include some solution for secrets persistence and management

I'm running Pop 24.04 w/ Cosmic and gnome-keyring is available. It was necessary to configure some apps, e.g., VS Code, to use it explicitly.

In ~/.vscode/argv.json I set:

{
    "password-store":"gnome-libsecret",
}

@qrkourier thank you that is a good fix for the keyring issue in vscode but unfortunately for me it still has other issues common to electron/chromium apps (https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch/issues/250). I think chromium needs to be made aware of cosmic desktop in a few places
