XDG defines ~/.config, ~/.cache and other shell-agnostic locations for user configuration files. Some applications define their own locations for user secrets, like ~/.ssh and ~/.gpg.
Is there an XDG-defined location for user secrets? For example, ~/.secret?
I thought that the XDG spec intended that you store secrets using the secret-storage-spec.
The Secrets API allows client applications to store secrets securely using a service running in the user's login session.
This is where GNOME Keyring and others come into play, being the backend that manages the actual secrets.
