Sure, I was aware. You have the same problem with ssh keys, gpg keys and many other things
However, you can save encrypted ssh, gpg keys and save that encryption key in the OS keyring.
Yes, but you STILL need to enter password on every reboot.
Is it possible to seamlessly integrate, so when something requests those keys you'll get a prompt?
With SSH at least you can password protect the key itself so that you always get a prompt.
Nice, didn't know, I'll look into it
