Normally VSCode requires keyring softwares like gnome-keyring. We don't have this complex setup in our docker environment. This causes the user sign in data / status not persistent and when user opens a new VSCode instance / next time opens it, must need to sign in again.

This change is fixing this issue by using the basic text encryption, although not recommend in normal desktop environments, but it suits the container environment very well.

Dear @Senorsen,

I want to apologize that I've completely missed your PR.

I find your hint interesting, even I would prefer not to include this change as a default configuration into the project.

However, I would like to include it into the documentation, e.g. README files.

May I mention you as the source?

Regards
accetto
