I’ve looked around but can not find a julia package that will let me pull a password which is stored in my linux gnome keyring. In R, the “keyringer” package has a “decrypt\_gk\_pw” function that can pull a stored password right from the gnome keyring. Is there anything analogous in Julia or would we have to build it? Thx. J.

I have the same question. Curious to know if you ever found an answer for this?
