We *can't* do that. The keyring is a real secure place, thus we can't
just decide to release the passwords: we *need* the master password to
decrypt them. Really.

Fingerprints are not passwords, they are matched against an already
known fingerprint, which has to be stored somewhere, defeating the idea
of protecting your password.
