We've been looking this a bit with security team, the outcome is:

 1. Gnome-keyring needs a password to unlock and it matches the login one by 
default,
    so it only unlocks in such case
 2. It's not too bad from a security POV to actually require a proper password 
to unlock
    all the secrets
 3. User may still want it, but this needs work.
