Currently secrets are not handled well which results in poor security.
Describe the solution you'd like
Most password managers on Linux provide a standardized interface using the Secret Service API.
These interfaces should be used to store passwords in the system keyring resulting in a more secure solution and also improved user experience.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Preserving the status quo: This is less secure and thus not an option.
Using some other API: There are non that I know of under Linux.

Can you please elaborate? Have you considered using the master password?
They still require a password input which is vulnerable to keylogger. But my main argument is also regarding user experience. For Windows and macOS the native OS keyrings are already supported whereas for Linux only the UI prompt option is available.
