my biggest wish for the steam deck at the moment is they should add an integrated password manager. nothing fancy, it doesn't need to support third party password managers, even just "store a password after typing it once, and have a button to auto-type it into the password field again".

if a game has a launcher that requires its own password (i.e. it doesn't just log you in with your steam account), for example Warframe, Runescape, etc, and it doesn't support saving login credentials, right now you don't have a lot of options

either you

  1. suffer and type your password in manually (not an option for long auto-generated passwords that you shouldn't remember)
  2. add your password manager as a non-steam game, launch it alongside the game and then copy paste your password from there (you still have to suffer and type your password manager passphrase) (also the on-screen keyboard paste button doesn't always work so you need to ctrl-v on a bluetooth keyboard)
  3. make a custom controller profile for the game, and bind a button/overlay menu item/etc to type your password and pray you never accidentally press it and post your password for all to see (also this would probably store the password in plain text in the controller profile file, which is, yknow, cool)

instead it should just be integrated as a button in the sidebar or something

what i think would be nice is if you could just press the steam button and there'd be a small entry for storing passwords for that game. you enter it there once and then when you want to log in to your game you highlight the password field, open the side bar and click on "type password" or whatever and it'd fill it in

it doesn't even need to be able to identify a password field automatically, doesn't need to do the "hey you just logged in, do you want to store this password" that browsers do, just as long as you can manually store and paste the passwords in an integrated way

theres no need for third party password manager support because like, you don't need your passwords for all your random websites and stuff, you just need the passwords for those few games

EDIT: also important note, there's probably like a decky plugin that lets you copy-paste your keepass passwords but like, i wouldn't really trust a random plugin with my entire password database lol, i want something official
