Binary package “pidgin-gnome-keyring” in ubuntu noble

  1. Noble (24.04)
  2. pidgin-gnome-keyring

integrates pidgin (and libpurple) with the system keyring

 Pidgin usually stores passwords as plaintext with the "save password"
 function. This plugin instead saves all passwords to the system keyring,
 which some would argue is a more secure form of password storage.
