Based on this email and responses, it sounds like you are interested in classic
systems (ie, non-all snap systems, as opposed to 'confinement: classic') and
using the user session's keyring manager, in this case, gnome-keyring. In that
light, a 'gnome-keyring' interface needs to be implemented as an
implicitClassicSlot.
