Chromium/Qt password manager
-
I'm currently using QtWebEngine to make a browser. For daily usage, having to type in your credentials on every site over and over again, is a pita. Many sites don't support some 'remember me' feature.
I have searched around for password manager functionality in webengine but this seems to be missing. I have found multiple threads/issues/bug-reports addressing this issue, but there seems to be no movement.
I have looked into the webengine source code (src/thirdparty/chromium) and found that much if not all of chromium's password manager code is still there. It's just not being used.
I like how Firefox and chrome/chromium handles passwords. feature like 'auto fill', 'save these credentials' when you login to a site, ...
Why doesn't QT have this, it seems like a must have for a browser these days. Writing a chromium plugin myself would not work since chromium plugins aren't supported by webengine. Would it be possible for me to work around this, for example, by 'reimplementing' the correct calls for passwordmanager to work again?
