Saving a password

Does anyone have an idea how the contents of a (password-)field can be saved in a keychain and being fetched back?
MBS has a "Keychain" component, but only allows to store passwords, not to fetch them back.
Just brewing the idea of creating a checkbox "save password", then storing it along with username and hostid into a table, fetching it the next time the field is used...
I know, passwords must be stored in hashed form only, but any autofill function in a browser etc. must violate that.

Well, I could of course add a get password function.
But it would probably ask the user for permission...

OK, I see... Thanks, I'll implement my own "keychain" :slight_smile:

Autofill functions do not violate that rule. In MacOS, Keychain and Password do the autofill. Applications that request autofills have no idea what is stored in the keychain.
