Apologies if this is the wrong venue for this question.

I'm trying to understand the security implications of storing my ssh key
passphrase in the gnome keyring.

If I backup my home area including both:

~/.ssh/id_rsa

and

~/.local/share/keyrings/login.keyring (I think this is where the login
keyring is stored)

haven't I reduced the complexity of cracking my ssh key from the ssh
passphrase down the my login password?

Cheers.

Steve.
