Is it possible to tell if secure storage is available before storing something?

[John-Nagle]

I'd like to know whether secure storage is available before trying to store anything. On some Linux systems, no secure storage seems to be available.

Use case: deciding whether to display a "Remember password" checkbox.

Thanks.

Hi @John-Nagle, thanks for the question.

If I understand you correctly, you are asking whether there's a way to find out whether the lifetime of a stored credential survives a reboot. This is similar to #147, and the sample code in that issue shows you how to use the persistence method on a credential store to answer that question. Please let me know if this gives you what you need.

Ah, good.
