I picked up on that too. This is why I said, "Redesign the keyring
feature or drop the feature." Unlocking for all apps is already
happening, and already a security vulnerability. But since *that* issue
is a different bug, the least you can do is communicate which
application is requesting access, *and* inform the user that clicking
"Allow" will also unlock the keyring for other applications. Full
disclosure. Why the secrecy? It's just another sentence, not like it
means writing a book to the user. Give the user enough information to
decide whether to click 'Allow' or not. Or, simply, drop the keyring
feature.
