So I am moving into cosmic and liking it so far. In the terminal I see that there is a way to save passwords, but how do I then use them?
Like if i was going to ssh somewhere how do i tell ssh to get the password from the terminal?

I tried it out. Looks like you add your passwords to view->passwords, then when you need the password. You just open up the passwords (view->passwords) and click the password you need. Unfortunately, not sure if this is as intended but, when I click a test password, the password is echoed to the terminal, good, after though the password is removed. Not quite what I would expect.
P.S. better to just upload your public key to the server you need to ssh into. Then you wont need a password.

Yeah, would be cool if it worked a bit more like a keychain that is unlocked at login.

I bet that's how it's supposed to work. Seems like you found it before it is ready.
