Thank you for your bug report, that was reported before but bottom line
is that if you let access to your unlocked to somebody hostile you lost
anyway on the security front, it's not to ask for a seahorse password
which will fix that

Title:
  Passwords are too easy to steal

Status in “seahorse” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  To get a remembered password in plain text all you have to do is open
  seahorse, then right-click on the desired password, properties,
  password, show password. And there's the password on your screen.

  This makes it too easy to steal a password, seahorse should ask for
  the current user's password before showing such sensitive information.
