A virtual for providers of the freedesktop.org Secret Service API,
ultimately to supersede directly depending on gnome-base/gnome-keyring
- there is now at least one more functional provider in the tree
(app-admin/keepassxc - tested by me using secret-tool, seahorse and
of course applications actually using this API for secrets, no problems),
and work is ongoing on implementing this in KDE.
Nb. gnome-keyring is currently listed as preferred because in addition
to having been THE SS API provider until quite recently, keepassxc is
currently somewhat more complicated to use - one must prepare keyring
or keyrings in advance for use with SS, no PAM module for unlocking
a keyring on login, no command-line option to enable SS support etc.
