gnome-keyring is deprecated. Replace with libsecrets

[afausttanasescu]

Secure token storage is backed by gnome-keyring under Linux. It should be changed to libsecret.

libgnome insertion

Ubuntu 20.04 doesn't include libgnome-keyring0 anymore therefore the change to libsecret would be great.

I could not agree more. This lib is practically broken on linux.

gnome-keyring is a program that keep password and other secrets for users. The library libgnome-keyring is used by applications to integrate with the gnome keyring system.¹

Found a decent replacement for the posix move to libsecret². Would require a replacement of the existing posix version of this project.

Edit:
After doing some additional digging it looks like gnome-keyring, and the project code, still does actually work. The library that interacts with gnome-keyring is called libsecret and has succeeded libgnome-keyring. I can save and retrieve a credential and password on posix using the code snippet I demonstrated in another issue on this project. There is a problem, according to the Gitlab Seahorse ticket 157³, with gnome-keyring-daemon. Please read the link for further clarification.
