Description

Netbeans asks for a master password once per session, every time I have to access something that uses a password.

The reason is that libgnome-keyring.so has been deprecated.

 

It's time to implement the keyring using the new libsecret because libgnome-keyring.so it is OFFICIALLY DEAD and from now on any distro based on Gnome will have this problem as well.

See here

This project is deprecated and has been superseded by libsecret (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libsecret).
