This type of backend storage for private keys relies on operating system-specific default protocols to handle key storage efficiently and securely. The sub-systems of popular operating systems handle password prompts, private key storage, and user activities based on policies set by the user.

Below are some operating systems and their respective managers:

  • macOS (from Mac OS 8.6):

  • Windows:

  • GNU/Linux: GNU/Linux distributions that use GNOME as the default desktop environment typically come with .

  • : Users of KDE-based software distros use the .

Other recommended private key managers are file and pass

Keychain
Credentials Management API
Seahorse
Kwallet
