Package Name or Section of Feren OS where this bug resides
Where does this bug happen? (e.g.: feren-themer-cinnamon) google-chrome-stable, vivaldi-stable, etc.

Describe the bug
Right now Chromium-based browsers expect KWallet in Plasma for password storage, however it isn't present meaning they probably end up using basic password storing. The main downside to this is that users coming from Cinnamon will lose their passwords. However, there is hope - there's an argument that you can supply in the Chromium-based Browsers' commands to force a certain password store technique. If this can be changed to forcing GNOME Keyring, we might be able to use GNOME Keyring for password storing like it was in Cinnamon, and better yet it might even remember the passwords during the transition phase once that is done.

Steps to Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Save passwords in Cinnamon
  2. Transition to Feren OS
  3. Check the browser's saved passwords list in Plasma - it should say visually that it forgot them all

Expected behavior
They will remember the passwords they have saved

I found a way to force Chrome to use GNOME Keyring under Plasma, while also seemingly fixing the default theme choice and the default browser setting button, however it isn't pretty:

  • We're basically making it think it's running on GNOME

Furthermore, until the issue with GNOME Keyring not unlocking on login is fixed, this'll have to wait.

Apparently --password-store=gnome exists so
