+### Security considerations
+
+Fractal uses [SecretService](http://standards.freedesktop.org/secret-service/) to store the access token and 
the passphrase to access the local cache. Generally, when Fractal is used with GNOME. The information stored 
via the SecretService is stored in the [GNOME Keyring](https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeKeyring), which 
on the other hand, by default, uses the users password to access the stored information.
