If you mean libsecret? Not to my knowledge. The wincred plugin would need
to remain, at least for now. Libsecret is generic, but it would require a
secret service implementation for Windows and also DBus on Windows. There
are msys2 packages for libsecret and DBus, but who knows if they would
actually allow a real DBus session, but that's still lacking a secret
service provider. If we'd even want to require DBus to run for Pidgin alone.
