Linux uses insecure storage for password

I originally filed this against the ownCloud client. They requested that it be filed here: https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/3060

I recently looked into how the ownCloud client was storing user passwords and found that it was using the Gnome Keyring Daemon. The Gnome Keyring Daemon is not a secure storage location, this has been discuss off and on for a while now:

There no alternative under Gnome, is there? The idea of qtkeychain is to use what the platform offers and what other native applications use.
