Snapping applications that uses keyring

[Kyle Fazzari]

Hey all.

Has anyone tried to snap an application that uses a keyring to store
passwords? I took a crack at the Nextcloud desktop client yesterday, and
as it stands right now I need to enter my Nextcloud password every time
I start it up as it has nowhere to save it.

I know relatively little about the gnome-keyring-daemon, but I assume it
encrypts its keyring typically with the login password, and is unlocked
by pam as a side effect of logging in. Do we have an interface covering
access to the default keyring? Or do we need to embed
gnome-keyring-daemon inside our snaps?
