As the title says, I recently switched to FVWM and Chromium no longer saves password between sessions. When I enter a password, it prompts me to save it, and it the password autofills until I close Chromium. But after closing it, all passwords are gone the next time I open it.
It’s working on GNOME/Wayland and I haven’t changed any of my browser settings. Could this somehow be related to FVWM or Xorg?
Thanks,
Ross
This isn’t really an fvwm issue, but with how chromium is saving the passwords. I’m not sure on the details, but I think chromium has multiple ways it can save this information, and your browser might just be configured to use gnome-keyring, ensure that is running, and if not you may have to run it when launching fvwm.
You may also look into the --password-store option, I think if you don’t want to use a keyring, you can use internal storage with --password-store=basic.
But look into where chromium is storing passwords between gnome and fvwm, and that should hopefully get you to a working state.
