About:
QtKeychain is a cross-platform library that provides a Qt API for storing passwords and other sensitive data securely. It leverages native OS credential storage systems like macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, and Linux's Secret Service. This allows Qt applications to manage credentials in a secure, platform-independent manner without handling encryption directly.
Key Features:
  • Platform-independent API for secure credential storage
  • Integration with native OS keychains (Keychain, KWallet, Secret Service)
  • Asynchronous and synchronous operation support
  • Handles encryption and key management automatically
Use Cases:
  • Storing user passwords or API keys in Qt desktop applications
  • Managing authentication tokens securely across different operating systems
  • Implementing secure credential persistence for Qt-based software
Alternatives:
  • libsecret – Linux-specific Secret Service implementation; qtkeychain offers broader cross-platform support
  • QKeychain – Alternative library with similar goals; qtkeychain is the more actively maintained fork
