<title>Keyring</title>
<p>This page explains all options for using the Keyring in <app>Parabolic</app>.</p>
<section>
    <title>Backend</title>
    <p>The Keyring feature is backed by the <code>libnick</code> library.</p>
    <p>This library uses SQLCipher to securely store credentials in a platform independent manner.</p>
    <p>The library will use your system's credential manager (i.e. DBus secret service on Linux and Windows Credential Manager on Windows) for securing the Keyring database file.</p>
