Overview

keyring provides a way to store, lookup and delete passwords in various backends supported by Python-Keyring.

Usage example:

$ keyring set service username
Password for 'username' in 'service':
$ keyring get service username
password

How the SERVICE and USERNAME parameters are handled depends on the backend, with the default Secret Service backend they are stored as item lookup attributes.
