securely storing credentials accessible within Crostini

[Maksim Lin]

Hi,
per: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/docs/+/master/containers_and_vms.md#user-data-in-the-container

I agree about securely storing credentials to online services.

As a developer for instance storing credentials for example git
remotes (especially over https rather than ssh) I would do on linux
distros via gnome-keyring and then a git helper exe that would access
it, these days via dbus and libsecret
(https://github.com/GNOME/libsecret) but since I believe gnome-keyring
is normally secured via the desktop (linux user) login password I'm
not sure if this will work well (securely) with the default container
in Crostini.

Would anyone have any recommendations for how to do this or even some
tips on perhaps how it could be possible to wire up libsecret to
access the ChromeOS user login - I couldnt immediately spot an
ChromeOS extension APIs that would do provide access to the Chrome
user login?

thanks,
Maks.
