[QGIS-Developer] Authentication system - master password

[Luigi Pirelli]

eventually you can update an old C++ plugin that manage storing master
password in your host OS wallet of Keychain
https://github.com/planetfederal/qgis-master-pass-cxxplugin

you can hire one of old devs of this plugin (mainly Alessandro Pasotti) or
ask for others to update it... was abandoned due to acquisition of the
company behind this code. Fortunately they left the old code public.
